Rydar, what you posted probably does apply to the total malcontents who actually are too lazy and will only play on 100x exp servers. I still think you're being ignorant and are very much vocal minority on this particular issue though.
Let's talk about "classic". How many people were usually in the most common zones during classic? How easy was it to get groups? Was it feasible to actually *stop leveling to PvP* and pick one zone with 80+ players in it to set up shop in? (answer: it was)
Now.... how much of the above exists here?
None of it. You can keep throwing around the word "classic", but what you're actually defending is a really poor not-classic experience. I summed this up here:

EXP rate: my concern isn't the rate (which is tolerable) so much as it is the existence of mid/low level player interaction. If the 1-42 Red99 playthrough has little to no player interaction or real pvp because of too many zones for too few players spread across too many levels, then that's gonna suck. That's the biggest reason I stopped logging in.

If you are going to keep defending empty solo grinds that are in no way classic, then you are hurting this server's chances to succeed. My solution is to push it all into a tighter level range near the top, which keeps The Grind intact while enabling players to actually interact.
The casual RED player starting up on this server is who you need to be considering. Not your hardcore raid gamer who has ten alts and just wants MOAR CONTENT to meatgrind through.
