All Dungeons: cut them in half, with odd numbers rounded down, (Deadmines is now 7+ instead of 15)
Mob levels and Item requirements: Cut them in half rounding odd numbers up (a green level 11 required item is now 6, a 54 ghost in winterspring is 27, a level one pig is still level 1)
Moving past the old world: You can go to any expansion at 29
Level up stats: you now get 2 stats worth of levels every time you ding.
Make old WoW raids level 30, change nothing else.
As for Abilities we Vary rarely get 2 at the same time anyways, in addition we have many MANY levels of nothing new, so if need be just move things around a little bit
so we don't have 3-6 levels of nothing new.
Same with talents, this is the biggest change to balance I would propose, I would honestly say they should give us a point to spend every 5 levels, make the level 5/15/25/ect. talents more minor things like the movement speed boosts, or stuns we get now, and make the 10/20/30/ect. talents more combat rotation things.
Why not? as long as we are squishing something why not do it for everything? As I said before even during the 1-60 grind we have many levels that mean nothing now, you don't get anything, why not push it down to 30 but give us something EVERY level. Now from level 1-30 you learn a spell, a passive, a talent, a PvP talent, or a mount speed at every ding.
Not only that but It would make much more sense level bracket wise to balance everything out, other wise it's 1-60 for just old wow then 60-70 or 80 for ALL of the expansions.
Honestly the only "downside" I can see is for the people who highly value the number 120 for some reason, I won't pretend to speak for everyone, but at least for myself my actual level stopped meaning anything to me back when we got stuck at 85 for 2 years... after that 100 and 120 where kind of novel but not really proud moments. Also as someone who has truckloads of alts the thought of having to fill that bar 119 times when ever I want another one starts to become more and more of a deterrent (even if I know it will be about the same time wise in the end).
