Go to Stranglethorn Vale and tell me levelling on [insert server name here] is harder than Nostalrius.
That is a single instance of a place that would be harder to level, but you don't even have to go there if you don't want to because there are other options. Simply put, when it comes to finding groups to do things on something intended to be massive multiplayer when it is not, it becomes more difficult on the whole.
