When leveling is that easy, all the gear from 1-49 is completely and utterly useless. Especially since you can wear gear higher rank. I liked when the journey to 75 was slow and "painful", and investing time and money into gear and quests that rewarded gear I wanted actually made a difference to how well I was able to party.

But, judging by the usual responses I get from saying this kind of thing, I'm sure I'm the only one that feels this way.
