I really disagree.

Take a walk in Icecrown in your best gear at level 80 once you've phased into the zone that has all the wandering dead. You'll last maybe 5 minutes. Its just not safe to walk in that zone, even if you bring a healer with you. One can easily get overwhelmed. I kept getting killed last night for stupid reasons, but that was me making stupid mistakes that I could make in Outland at level 70 that I painfully paid the repair bills for last night.

Your complaint of out leveling your gear, well if you've trying to level a new toon, you can get BOA (bind on account) gear that transfers to your other characters, so you don't worry about the gear while leveling. Just level and grind through because most are just trying to get to lvl80 anyways.

WotLK changed WoW more fundamentally with the tokening system to get different equivalent gear, creating heroics and hard modes, which drop better gear from bosses and bring back life into instances to continue the challenges.

I expect Cataclysm to do more of the same.

and c'mon taking 20 minutes to getting to Scarlet monastery is not fun. you can't even say that with a straight face that every time you wanted to play the first 20-30 minutes of your gaming time would be eaten up by having to commute to your destination... really? are you serious?

Several months of getting to Dire Maul for 10 man raids, and then getting to MC and taking 20 minutes to get there. So the tank you're waiting for finally logs on, and you still can't play for another 20 minutes because he has to get to the destination?

I can't tell you how boring it is sitting there waiting... and waiting some more... when you are in lower guilds that have to pug people. Raid time at 7 with first pull at 8:30 because you finally got all the people you needed? That's boring and wasteful of everyone's time.
