I just started a brand new 1.3 world; it's my first time trying the update from 1.2.5. I came across 3 desert temples within AN HOUR, and then I found a village and managed to get 4 emeralds out of a villager asking for wheat. I stole their wheat. So now I have 4 emerald, 6 diamond from the temples, and I haven't even made a tool yet.
Is this just a huge fluke, or is the game too easy now?
Yeah, you just got lucky where it concerns the diamonds and temples, and 4 emeralds is completely normal. Enjoy your spoils. However, just wait til you see how common XP is now. I personally don't mind, but you might feel it's too easy.

Good to know about the emeralds. The temple thing REALLY took me by surprise.
Concerning XP: I noticed how quickly I was building up XP and I hadn't really done anything. I've yet to even mine anything. I blew up the TNT under the temple and I leveled up twice from the minerals it "mined." Luckily I don't enchant often.
Yeah, 1.3 is way past EASY, but PVP is still good as it always was, 1v1 is good, Multiple people killing each other in an Arena is what makes minecraft fun. PVP is basically minecraft in a nutshell. If a server doesn't have PVP, Raids, or Griefing allowed, why bother playing on it? Are you going to kill creepers for hours on in?

I'm really not sure how or why you twisted things onto the subject of servers and pvp play, but I personally prefer no pvp as the combat system is so laggy and barebones. Add Demons Souls' combat to the game and maybe me and the pvp could have a date.
You're lucky to even find regular biomes, I had to dig 6km in the nether and set up a portal just to find other biomes. I think large biomes makes the game extremely challenging, are you playing on regular?
I mean yeah, leveling is pretty quick, but I'm spending a majority of my time collecting resources. I mined some at the beginning but that was only able to pop a 30 enchant on one thing because most of those collected and the exp curve got the better of it (got to lvl 45 by the time I got all bookshelves).
I feel like villages are kind of a waste of time, things are pretty expensive to buy and most of the stuff I can collect myself. I just like it for the fact I can make my own little village and the fact they can get me chainmail.

I mentioned PVP because it's one of the few things in my opinion that doesn't make minecraft easy. Combat system isn't perfect, but killing mobs in Minecraft is literally too easy, even a noob can kill an enderman without trying.
Edit : And getting resources is even easier
You really got lucky there. Try an ocean start with little or no trees and see how far you go in one hour. And just for fun, try an Large Biomes ocean start.
