Maybe they have better communication tools now. I played from launch to MoP on Horde side and I remember there was a trade channel but it was kind of all over the place. I also didn't raid there, and I remember our trade channel was mostly concerned with those sorts of items, not things like basic bags for more casual players.

Again, there's nothing wrong with the setup for those who like that style. My preference is XIV allowing it all on a single character and then I can choose to have alts if I want them.
