The increase from level 60 to 65 in PoP also required quite a bit of mudflation to the gear which ultimately made all other previous content in the game irrelevant. There was no longer any need or desire to back raid previous expansions.
In Luclin there was still a reason to go kill AoW or Vulak for example. Hell, there was even a little bit of a reason to maybe go back and knock Phara Dar on the head once in a while. A reasonable number of AA's kept people interested and playing and invested in their characters. Travel didn't instantly become trivial although the Nexus spires were a big thing. Moving people from EC to the Bazaar wasn't a bad thing but I will concede that allowing for AFK trader mode did take away a lot of social interaction so I wasn't always a fan of that feature.
tldr; A Luclin-locked server would be a really great server. PoP locked server is bad, in my opinion. I don't even know if this is relevant to the topic, I didn't read all 6 pages
