My understanding of the design is that this is explicitly the intention.

I don't think you can count it as a problem when the designers make it part of the gameplay loop unless you're saying who exactly it is a problem for.

What Azherae said plus the fact that all locations in the game will start from the lowest lvl of mobs/bosses. So that 10k people will have a place to go farm, they'll just need to move a bit further away from the spawn portals.

Obviously different people will have different amounts of time they can play, so anyone who has a ton of time will be leveling up both themselves and their nodes. And they'll have high lvl content in those nodes. This will most likely be a fairly limited amount of people (cause leveling will take a long time).

And the higher you go, the fewer people there'll be at that progress lvl. So I think that this will not be as much of a problem as it was in all the previous mmos that had preestablished leveling locations that could only fit a certain amount of people at any given time. But even if this doesn't work out perfectly, as Azherae said, the rarity of things is an intended design choice.
