But so far though, I have yet to even see a non level 70. Plus grinding quests and levels is kind of counter to the whole idea of settling into your character, getting involved with people's stories, and role-playing, no?

Just because that is your opinion of what role-play means, doesn't mean we can destroy one whole faction for the sake of RP. Who knows, someone may want to actually level up a character. What right do we have to tell them no?
I do like this idea, really!
However, the reason I haven't done such drastic changes is pretty much summarized in some above posts. I don't want to destroy a whole faction, in essence, and completely wipe out their ability to level on their own.
Perhaps in the future I may be able to implement some ideas, though.
Edit: Oh, and yes, it would be a fu-... er, cra-... uh... TON of work. Hehe.

Need an easy way to host/link files and images? Check this thread! Try to never just say, "My character isn't interested in that adventure." A lot of people mistake this for good roleplaying, because you are asserting your character's personality. Wrong. Good roleplaying should never bring the game to a screeching halt. One of your jobs as a player is to come up with a reason why your character would be interested in a plot. After all, your personality is entirely in your hands, not the DM's. Come up with a reason why the adventure (or the reward) might appeal to you, no matter how esoteric or roundabout the reasoning. -(Source)

Not really, no. Different strokes for different folks--not everyone wants to just pop to 70 and be done with it. Levelling up a character gives the player more time to get in touch with what that character is to them--if that's what the player is into, at least.
Or maybe someone just wants to level up a character for shits and giggles. The point--my point, at least--is that at no point have I seen anyone amongst the higher-ups say "You have to RP, it's the only option". Totally eradicating the Alliance NPC population invalidates the openness of the server by forcing anyone who wants to grind to grind Horde.
