Yeah, that seems to go against their stated intention of making the old world viable again. That's why they removed the Outland and Northrend portals, they said. I don't mind that they did that, but all they've done is make Orgrimmar and Stormwind the new Shattrath/Dalaran.

One semi-nice thing that they did (at least in Org) is create two separate sets of inn/bank/AH. One is near the main entrance to the city, the other is further back and closer to the back entrance. Not only is it a pretty good location (close to the portals, most class trainers, and most profession trainers) but few people seem to use the area. So the front area of Orgrimmar is packed with people standing around or sitting on their mounts, and the back area is almost a ghost town. Lag free and generally idiot-free, there's usually only one or two people at the bank or AH.

Still, I can't recall the last time I visited the Blood Elf or Tauren cities on any of my characters. I only ever see Undercity because my AH toon is parked there... because it's nice and empty all the time.
