I am pretty sure the level scales with you but not the ilevel. At max level as you gear up and upgrade your stuff the world mobs while still not grey trash is also going to die very rapidly to what you do.

As long as it doesn't have unwanted side effects I'm cool with it. But it's unlikely not to have unwanted side effects.
They started small with phasing, then moved to doing it entirely too much and it was terrible.
They started small with cross realm grouping (just dungeons at first) then moved to doing it for every zone in the game, and I've got mixed feelings on that because of realm hopping and how terrible it is to farm rare spawns as a result.
They've started small with content that scales to your level/group size and they are looking to do it for most zones in Legion. I'll wait and see but history tells me there are going to be some bad, unwanted side effects.
I'm cautiously pessimistic rather than optimistic because of track record.

When Deathwing returns and ushers in the 2nd cataclysm with a giant crystal sticking out of his chest saying, "The first cataclysm was only a setback!" You will be grouping with your friend's level 15 in the Northeastern Barrens with your level 120 (He's gonna split the Barrens up into 4 parts this time). Meanwhile Blizz will be shutting down emulated "Classic First Cataclysm" servers because you don't know what you really want.
But seriously, I've resigned myself to subbing when WoW has content, and unsubbing when it doesn't. My only concern with Legion is if we waited this long to get about 2 weeks of content before we're waiting for a patch or another raid tier (I'm sure they'll tell us we haven't done all the "content" because we haven't gotten very far in follower missions for the class hall...)

I can't really foresee unwanted side effects. It's removing player separation unlike phasing that added it. MoP and WoD were pretty spot on with how to use phases. They may be slow but the world and quest teams seem to learn.
This is their attempt at a gw2 type approach to allow unstructured play. It's not like you won't be 1 or 2 shotting mobs after the first LFR tier. The biggest drawback could be any mob dismounting you. Well, you fuckers wanted a more dangerous overworld. Enjoy. You'll be flying over it in 7.1 anyway.
You assholes bitch about everything.

With the amount of money I've given blizzard since WoW's launch I feel like I am allowed to bitch all I want.

This is actually a pretty nifty point... I can do all the biking and shit I want and once the end of summer hits I can look at WoW a bit more...
What's the problem with the rare farming and realm hopping? It's certainly cut down on the "rarity" of some/most spawns, but it's made it so there are quite a few that I could get that were relatively "obscenely" rare (looking at the fucking rain pet on Jaegro).
The phasing stuff did go a bit overboard, but I think they got better with it.

Guess you never tried to mine/herb farm in Cataclysm. I was talking specifically about Cata though, not after that because they learned their lesson. But initial overarching implementations have tended to suck.
Rare spawns have been way more of a pain in the ass to farm in overworld zones than they used to be for me. I'm competing with a lot more people because even though not many people from my realm itself may be farming for something, and they may be spread out across spawns, I'm now competing with all those people and people from every single server in my CRZ. It makes life easier for some things, but makes farming something like Aeonaxx or TLPD way, way worse. Plus realm hopping is really annoying.
Have you never played GW2 or any of the other level-scaling games, or something?
Or what?

Unsubbing to WoW after the last patch in an expansion is just a given at this point. At the least, it gives you time to come back and appreciate all the greatness that is WoW.

I wonder what Blizzard is actually doing.
All there games are pretty much done, and their staff is ridiculous.
If they aren't really doing anything for WOW wtf are they paying that army for.
