You could be lazy in MOP as well, you didn't have to be an enchanter, you could get an enchant from someone else (contrary to wotlk hodir rep that sold you THE enchant not the pattern), bah, you didn't have to buy valor gear you could just wait for raid drops, you didn't have to get your bonus roll coins if you didn't farm dailies for charms, etc. If you wanted the legendary you could form party and leech rep while others farmed the mogu and so on.
But are we talking about being prepared now or about being lazy? Lazy people run ungemmed, unenchanted, never use flasks, food or pots. I don't think those people worry about any grinds, preparations or burnout.
I'm saying now the game lacks the feeling of "I'm done, finished, completed, I can rest with the feeling of job well done".
