I know people love ignoring the convenient truths for the sake of being correct in a subjective argument (I do it all the time) but you all do recall SE bumping the MSQ exp when 3.0 came out, right?
People bitched to high heaven about how hard it would be to hit i90 before 3.0 and SE just added gear to the 2.x quests to help level it out. I'm happy that no gating will remove a bunch of angst from public conversation but I'm a little worried that it means people will be lacking actual experiences from things that will be added over the next four or five content patches. For example: You could always tell who'd glimpsed T5 when doing ST because anyone marked with the big ol' DIVEBOMB target would either run to the outside to not hit the entire raid (someone who's seen T5) or stand clustered and cause thousands of points of damage to everyone through ignorance.
Not a big deal, no, but discouraging.
Also, regarding WoW: Try to play WoD without having anything post-BC installed, and tell me how that goes.
