Not if you pull every single mob in north ro (not 30+, but the same mechanic is at work) as a level 51 wizard (something I did on live). My opinion is just as "valid" as yours, but I'm positive it did.

I don't want to start a flame war, but how can you honestly believe this?
Because I personally experienced it. I suppose it is really stupid to believe something you actually did...maybe my parents raised me wrong :P

Or a bard swarm kiting.
Bards on live couldn't do the same swarm kite p99 bards can now do. An RL friend of mine who soloed entire zones after the change was made said once that change was made, his class became gods of outdoor zones.

Or a druid DS tanking to plvl. Mobs "not entering melee range" because there were already 3 or 4 mobs attacking you? Wouldn't that effectively nerf TRAINS almost entirely?
Not exactly, because most trains are mobile and in higher level zones, 4 mobs beating the snot out of you is enough to make you move - meaning you would then move into melee range of more than 4 mobs (again, as I described, they'd still hit you if you moved into their range).

Not to mention that it would be 100% exploitable. Oh sorry big_bad_raid_boss001 i've got 4 level 30 mobs on me already thus you'll stand there doing nothing while we kill you.
It's difficult to think of a situation where you could afford to let 4 trash mobs hit you while you tanked a different mob where the situation would not immediately or very quickly change (healer aggro) to allow you to be attacked by the big boss mob.

I'm sorry, but you are 100% wrong. Something like this would have made the radar on patch notes, I beg you to find it and post it.
See the very next poster ---->

Was that way once upon a time. Didn't stay that way, but there was a point in time that it was true you could only have 4 mobs attacking you at once.

Really quick google shows someone else remembers it like that too:
