World of Warcraft: Old Content Today

I have been playing WoW, World of Warcraft, since the middle of Burning Crusade. I remeber how hard the content was then and I've heard many stories of the hardships in Vanilla, the orignal WoW. In Wrath of the Lich King, I was very into leveling charcters to reroll and raiding. I was so devoted to raiding that I began to stop having fun doing it. Today in Cataclysm, I play less and use my time to go on my main, an 85 warrior, and going back and doing some of the old content and being an achievement whore.
Since I haven't been playing much of the Cataclysm content and have almpst every class maxed level, I have been working on Loremaster. Doing this title has shown me how much of the content had been changed in Azeroth. Now you can go to zones, such as Thousand Needles or Hillsbread Foothills, and see a huge difference in landscape and quest. But there are still zones that have changed landscape but have the same basic quest as they did in Vanilla, like Northern Barrens and Strangethorn Vale.
With the content of Burning Crusade, they hadn't changed it. Or thats how it appears. Doing Loremaster there I see very little changes. But when I quest there on characters at that level I find it now easier then in the actually days of BC. Even without BoA's (Bind of Account gear), the questing seems to be much easier.
I haven't notice any difference with Wrath of the Lich King. I haven't really tried to hard since I am sick and tired of Northrend and it's quest. I have leveled five horde and one alliance through Northrend during Wrath so I try to avoid it now a days.
The old content of World of Warcraft of passed expansions, besides some of Azeroth, seem the same but easier. What do you think?
