No, it doesn't matter. The new baseline may have changed from 14mobs to 10.5mobs, but so what? 150 is still a 50% increase from 100, so a zone with a 150 ZEM will take 10.5mobs / 1.5 = 7mobs. Yeah, 14 is 200% of 7, but 10.5 is 150% of 7.
Stop thinking of the old baseline as some sort of magic number. It is just a baseline. They changed it. A ZEM of 150 has a 50% bonus over a ZEM of 100. The fact that is has a 200% bonus over a ZEM of 75 is irrelevant, since the new baseline is 100.
Actually, I guess your last paragraph says the same thing, so we are in violent agreement. Also, we don't know that they didn't change other variables. Rogean simply stated that they defined the outdoor zones as the baseline, and adjusted all ZEMs to reflect that. It still might take 14 mobs to go from 1 to 2, even with the new ZEM values. That will take experimentation.

I mean It's not worth arguing that much about but the math is just math as far as it being faster. It's definitely faster, whether it's the new baseline or not is a separate topic. Your XP bar did not adjust with the new "baseline" xp, so killing ten lvl 10 bandits in WK 2 days ago was 7,500 XP no matter how you slice it and Today its 10,000. (before racial and class bonuses of course) Yes you had to kill 4 bandits 2 days ago to get the same XP as 3 bandits will give you today
