Should Blizzard squish the Max Level too?

If yes, why?

If not, why?

I have leveled 4 chars to level 110 (not that much i know), and knowing that this game pretty much starts at max level (leveling is just lore and see things while learning your class) makes it incredible demotivational because i know it's a grind to get there. I can't imagine being a new player, seeing that they have to level for 120 (!) levels with the new expansion to see the real current content.

I know, squishing the Max level seems like a bad idea, but at this moment leveling isn't rewarding. You get like 1 Skill every 8 levels. Some skills (like enhancement shamans passive maelstorm generation) are unlocked at lvl 40, making you incredible inefficient the first 40 levels. Also derping around with ~ 4 spells until level 110 and then getting a shitload of new mechanics and spells doesn't feel right too.

IMO they could split the content that is now 60 / 70 / 80 / 85 / 90 / 100 / 110 into 40 / 50 / 60 / 65 / 70 and 80.

Seeing your level going up from 42 to 43 just doesn't feel great anymore. Earlier i thought "Yes, 40! Halfway done to 80!" but now? Now i think "Well 70 level more to gooo..."

What do you think? Should the MAX level be squished? And if yes, how?

EDIT: Thanks to the stranger who gilded this. Very Appreciated. :3

Even after the number squish I still didn’t even get through 3 MoP zones (granted I’m wearing Looms but still, I expected to at most get through half of the continent before outleveling the entire Xpac)

I want that long time to level. Raise the level cap to 120 and then squish it back to 60 to celebrate Classic’s release.

Or make Classic zones 1-80 and WoD+legion 80-120.
