I guess it depends on how many alts you want to play. With new allied races (that only give their armour if levelled all the way) people are likely to be levelling more alts.
Personally I’d make Heirlooms stronger and slow levelling a bit. this gives people a choice. If you want to level quicker then use the heirlooms, if you want to savour it a bit more than don’t.
Personally I would tend towards the faster levelling these days as I’ve done it quite a few times.
Also as BFA only has 3 zones, having it take 1.5 zones to fully level means that you can level 2 characters without repetition. I’d be fine with fully levelling in one zone, letting alts do the other two zones.
Back in Vanilla, TBC and Wrath there were a lot of zones you could level alts without too much repetition if you wanted to. I’m trying of the BFA story, levelled 4 Alliance and 1 Horde so far and not sure I’m going to level others for a while, bored of witches in Drustvar, pirates in Tiraguarde and cults in stormsong…
Literally nothing stops people going back and doing the questlines at max level if people care for the story. The majority don’t. I don’t see the issue with 120s going back and doing old content. I did that. It’s how I got Loremaster.
Leveling shouldn’t be slow or fast it should be enjoyable, I for one don’t mind the slow leveling or the fast one aslong as the experience is smooth I remember using the recruit a friend system in MoP and leveling was ehh fast but not enjoyable, what we got today is pretty neato with the scaling, but it could be a bit faster.
This is what I do. Level ASAP, then go back and do the quests at a later time.
I am questing old content - not on my 120’s though. And I see a LOT of people out ther questing old content atm.
It USED to be dead, even with the sharding. Maybe I would encounter one other player, but mostly none in some zones.
Lately however that has changed. I see so many people at all areas really, who does quests. Even old Silithus. And they range from being on par with the content and all up to 120.
There is this “Share mobs” thing going on, where you take enough time so that the other person also can hit them. Or someone goes pull a lot of mobs and you mow them down together. Many 120’s I meet out there, just follows me around and as soon as I hit the mobs they oneshot. When objective is done, we part ways.
Not a word has been spoken, but it’s a thing. Old content sure feels strangely alive atm
I really wish that Blizzard would consider to allow Chromie Time to scale up to current content level.
I mean leveling should take it’s time. But I really would love to be able to take my level 60 and go quest in old zones, rather than to have making alts to quest through them - or stop my XP
“We are leveling too fast” was what caused levelling to become boringly slow along with the nerfing of heirlooms when they finally decided to add scaling to the entire game world.
People wanted to not have to abandon zones while levelling but people like you just have to take the requests one step further potentially ruining it for everyone else.
Be careful with requests cause they can quickly turn into another case of female worgen.
Leveling is different for everyone and takes different times… maybe for the speedleveling guy it took 6 hours but I think for a normal person who works 8 hours a day, has a family etc. and has maybe 1-2 hours a day to play it will take a couple of days if not more, and probably for a student who spends most of his time playing games while not getting ready for his exams it will take 15 hours… who knows?
Also I feel like there aren’t that many people in the alpha yet to really get a great picture about this. I’d almost say too early to worry about it.
I personally prefer to level trough dungeons only, I hate questing especially the ones I’ve done before but I like having alts. I’m actually quite concerned myself if I’ll be able to level trough dungeons in SL or not? Nobody has tested that yet and I can’t try myself…
I love going back and doing old dungeons/raids since I can solo them (except the current ones of course). I find it fun and can still try and get some mounts I’m missing. 
I get the point but I am also pleased about it, there’s nothing stopping you finish an area off just because you’re max level. Now I can go wherever I want, if I fancy just doing Cataclysm again I can choose there instead of grinding my way up to Cata and being bored by the time I get there.
Do you mind?? Some of us do actually study, revise for exams, attend classes and work part time as well!!! 
It’s not about the speed itself, more about the daunting stack of levels and expansions that’s rebuking newer players.
Make no mistake about it, questing in TBC or Wrath zones is anything but fun these days. These zones are outdated as hell, with poor graphical fidelity and bad quest design (such as 4% drop chance collection quests)
And WoW is designed in a ‘pocket universe’ fashion, where literally nothing matters until you reach the most recent expansion.
I like the proposed model for Shadowlands, where new players start in BFA by default and make their way to 50 in a relatively recent zone, see recent dungeons and gear sets. You still have the option to level up alts in old zones if you like them for some reason (I like Warlords zones and questing for that matter)
Ahw sorry, didn’t mean to offend 
I have a friend who managed to balance his time very well while he was a student and did well on his exams despite playing WoW so yeah… there are SOME of you who are doing well, but the majority are slackers 
There is just no such thing as too fast leveling , at this point we barely have any new players coming into the game and a huge majority doesnt want to “explore” the world again after the 1st or 2nd 120 , they want it done as fast as possible. If you want to do some specific quests you can always turn off the XP in the 2 major cities and do your quests at your own pace , but leave people like me with a lot of alts alone and keep fast leveling (if it was me it would be even faster).

Sort of like a “fast track” and a slower version?
If the game knows to direct newbies to BFA via chromie time I imagine Blizz can jig something up for levelling speed. Making it optional could possibly be more complex though…
