By fragmented, I mean you're going to be missing out on harvesting nodes, flight paths and even some quest NPC's if you don't do every single quest in the game. There are going to be areas of the world that change drastically depending on if you're 14m away or 15m away.
Phasing is possibly the most cataclysmic immersion destroyer we've ever seen in an MMO.
I think it adds immersion and takes it away. It does give a feeling of "changing the world" but at the same time if you don't do the quests, or only do half of them in a zone, it does kind of screw things up.
Only thing is, I am not sure of a happy medium (if there is one)for something like this.

Currently in the MMO unemployment line.
Can I get $15/month for not playing them?

i made a druid alt and got to level 35 in a blink. through mostly dungeon runs. u get sick exp AND the best gear available just from doing dungeons and the quests in there. its ridiculous. granted i have +20% exp from heirlooms but thats basically the welfare heirlooms these days.
tanking is a pain though, and thats the spec with 0 queue time. i like healing much better just because its EASY but there is a queue time sometimes for that.

There isn't a happy medium. You do every quest in the game or you play in a fragmented world. It's retarded.

And in the process, you level too fast. 
I spent all afternoon yesterday with my (then) level 76 warrior doing nothing but flying around Howling Fjord mopping up green level 70-71 quests I haven't gotten around to finishing. I got a level and a half from those quests at levels 76-77.5. That sucks IMO.
By the way, if you turn off your XP gain, does that also turn off faction gain?

I don't know for certain, but I don't think so...

I tell you one thing that will give you a different take on leveling speed / zones in the expansion. I will soon have number six at 85. Two went from 80-85 solo, and four went 80-85 grouped as a duo on my two accounts - mostly as a sort of convenience, since it is nothing but the same content over and over and over again.
What is mildly ... no ... very aggravating ... about the duo aspect is that you lose about half the XP per kill of very mob. And, at almost any quest turn-in you are liable to find one toon in one phase and another coming behind. It's not that big a deal, since you get accustomed to where to expect them after a while, and can ESC out of the 1,000th Harrison Jones cut scene.
In my case, it's only an inconvenience to me, but you still look at it and think, "Suppose I had a friend I wanted to level with through this patch" ... you get penalized for grouping as you get less XP (maybe you kill a little faster, but I think that's questionable in the long-run) ... and you also get to kill a few (or many) more mobs for some collection quests.
It is quick and easy, to be sure. But the strictly linear nature of it really gets old after a time.

It doesn't seem to slow down until 77+ ... my problem with the new system is I will be exalted with Darnassus and still neutral with my guild. Doing all the quests I can and staying in LFD my rogue is 36 or 37 and has not even budged her rep meter with the guild.
