It's a philosophy change for sure, everything is focused on the current xpack and anything that's lower level is easy mode so people can level alts much faster. Everything from XP required to level to mob difficulty is scaled way down. More alts=less players quitting because their main is "done" and they are bored.I don't have any misconceptions about what it used to be, in a lot of ways vanilla was incredibly primitive and overly punishing. But now it's almost too easy.
It makes leveling simple but once you hit 85 stuff will become harder, and of course end game is still pretty tough with varying levels of difficulty: 5mans-> heroic 5mans -> LFR-> (coming soon flex raids)-> normal raids-> heroic raids.
