I know I'm a bit late to the party but I thought the answer to this would have been obvious as the person you quoted had previously mentioned quest xp bonuses and loot rewards. So it isn't the same.

Personally I prefer to have both options but I would also like to have a more solo friendly leveling experience as I plan to level another character come 2.0 and do not wish to have to worry about finding a group to grind with.
