It did.
If you have 8 debuffs and old class talents / gearing process, then the content will be harder and if content is hard, people depend on each other more. This leads to a better community, as you can´t just ditch people if they have lower DPS, a unique build or green items. You need everyone to perform certain roles.
With 16 debuffs and all the 1.12. stuff, you can leave about 20 players outside of MC, because you don´t need them. Players will become expendable, just like on live where you can cherry pick your squad.
Vanilla WOW had such a great community, because there was no xrealm tech, there was an actual dependancy on each other. Remove that and we have retail.
