Ignoring the door and clearing the map also works if you kill fast enough. Doing it at level and auto-completing is still the best method though 
I had forgotten about the game having an auto-complete until a few days ago when I selected it accidentally!
But now that you mention it, yeah--auto-complete. Because it takes about 30 minutes to sit there waiting for them all to come to you. BORING!
yeah, tend to kill some on the way in, clear the doorway, kill what starts coming at me, and start proactively killing groups about halfway through - depending on character.
Really, it's mostly a challenge for "How close can I get to 0 escapes" (which I've done a few times) now for me.
I always waited away from the door, by the fence where the barn is. As a group emerges, I wipe most of them out before they can reach the door. As soon as you kill 30 (even if some escape) you win.

Nope. You don't finish until every enemy on the map has made a run for the door or been killed. If you just needed to kill 30, it would hardly be a challenge.

Paragon City Search And Rescue
The Mentor Project
This is probably my second favorite mission in the game to solo. The first being later in the Croatoa arc when you have to rescue and protect the chant.
My Blasters struggled at first, before I got the pattern down. Now they excel at it while some of my Melee toons have problems. SuperSpeed helps a great deal.
I really wish we had more dynamic missions like this one. With a real rush of adrenaline feel to it without being the standard timed defeat all. We need more of the 'Get to the bomb before the other guy' races, with it actually being a race as they spawn at the same time as you and the like.

Keep Calm & Chive On!

I like the get a FF character with Force Bubble to sit at the door while killing the rest.

Before recently returning to the game, I used to think the "prevent 30 fir bolg from escaping" mission was bugged, or just not solo-able. So I was shocked to actually have succeeded doing this with my scrapper.
For anyone who doesn't know the trick, it's actually quite simple: position yourself in front of the door, and keep hopping (or hover) so you can see both the incoming paths through the woods. When you see a group (or individual) coming to the door, don't wait for them to get near the door, run out and attack them. If you stand right in front of the door, trying to act as a shield, they get close enough where they'll just go for the door. But if you run out and aggro them, they'll forget about the door and attack you.
