Basically, all the content scales to your level so you can level wherever you want to. You can also level with your buddy even if you are 102 and he is 108. You cannot outlevel zones and you are never too weak for any zones.
The new "daily" system is basically the garrison missions but put on the map for the players to pick and do as they please. Some of these stay up for a few hours, others for a week.
Couple those together and cap level players can go kill mobs for "daily" quests that are the first mobs killed upon entering the zone when questing (basically all content is relevant to cap level players).

That seems to sum it up. Should be noted when he mentions garrison missions but for players: he means just that. YOU are doing the missions yourself. It seems like instead of the daily route they are using this, so you can go wherever the hell you want and do a quest all across the new zones.
Also he just said on stream that dungeons in those zones don't have level caps either, so you can do several dungeons no matter what level you are and it scales to you. (well, for the new area at least, I doubt a level 20 can do it.) Also there's 5 max level dungeons. I like the idea of flexible scaling content, honestly.

After the mass amount of whining and bitching in SWTOR about level scaling I can only imagine how the WoW crowd will react to it. Cue six months of forum complaints. Personally I think it's brilliant, but that shit needs to be game wide and not just the xpac zones. The sheer amount of unused content in WoW is staggering and this flex/scaling system would breathe new life into a dead game world. If the guys at the Bioware B team can pull this off, why can't Blizzard??

Because they don't have a real incentive to waste dev time on applying this system to old content.
New dungeon system is pretty pimp.

Man I'm so put off by WoD and feeling like it was just a giant live PTR for legion I'm at like a 3/10 on the hype-meter.
The class panel and getting into the beta (lol yea right) will seal the deal for me.
I'd say a solid 7 or 8. Nothing crazy for raids...boring boring structure still seems to be in place there. Everything else seems to be promising though, and I was happy to see the return of zone storylines flowing into the zone dungeons again.

Said the same thing to my wife. The tauren are pretty sweet as well. Would be a great time to add in some more races or sub-races.
Also the whole intro speech by Orc Jesus, I mean Metzen, about how the horde and alliance have to work together to fight the legion....then one of the dudes talks about Horde and Alliance fighting over a fucking tower in the middle of nowhere...really? REALLY?

Other plus side is it should drastically help out the initial crush of players by spreading the initial influx across 4 zones instead of jamming your entire player base into a single zone and then watch the server squeel in pain for a night or two.
Go play GW2. Level scaling and map events are straight from that and the challenge mode is pretty close to fractals.
