Well, if you envision a strait line that slightly goes up when you level up through the MSQ and then starts quickly accelerating at max level into the sky, that's what the curve looks like. It's not normally like this when they start a new expansion, but when they start ramping gear at end game the challenges of normal content, if any, become way smaller. Unreal -> Extreme Trial -> Savage -> Ultimates is sort of the end game curve, but practically speaking most people just skip the unreal and extreme trials to go do savage and consider those other two things as side content. At least for the people who are seeking the challenging content.
