People who currently do Lowlevel will likely keep doing low level.
and three extra classes is more than a race, it just happens that those classes are gated behind content. Also, Burning Crusade and Cataclysm only introduced new races. And even then only 2 to balance out the factions.
That's not the problem - Low Level roulette shouldn't be not filled, it's 2.1 through 2.55 instances that's got me worried more than anything. Low-level roulette and level-appropriate dungeons will have MCH/DRK/AST from 30-50. However, at 50 how many will queue for Hard/Story-50 dungeons?
And obviously I meant non-gated content. BC offered a new race that had a different introduction to the world (and one that was a lot more refined than the vanilla one enough that, on Horde, many ran to the Ghostlands as a way to get better gear overall doing the 10-20 of the Blood Elves than their own), a class that was previously unavailable to the side that got it (and in a hilarious decision, the only race that didn't get the Warrior class baseline until Cataclysm) and a new profession (Jewelcrafting was introduced in BC, IIRC). Cata reimagined the entire world in addition to granting two races that had (once again) extremely different introductions to the world, as well as Archaeology.
You don't get fancy ungated distractions with HW - just the Au Ra. However, argument can be made that the fancy ungated distractions come with updates rather than expansions (Gold Saucer, requires level 15 which isn't a hard thing to do - can do it in 3 hours while falling asleep at my keyboard).
And the reason I think it's going to be ironworks is mostly because it'd be helping them out towards the target iLevel of 110 for HW content. 90/100 wouldn't.
I am personally happy with the ungated distractions coming outside of the expansion itself. means that the time in the expansion dev cycle isn't spent on fancy distractions....
both SoF and KoL only require an average of 90, so I doubt the target for initial content (read: leveling content) is going to be i110. Then again I could have missed an announcement when that was mentioned.
