Anyway...despite the fact that I find revolting any kind of "nostalgic-drama thread", I will spend one minute in answering some of these silly points:
The combat system remains very effective and fluid, and this improved with time (some pvp fights were more enojyable in Vanilla/TBC when there were far less spells/skills, but the lack of resilience and other bad things made many of them very awful, resolved with a bunch of lucky crit-blows).
I love to see how these nostalgic guys with a skill for drama often use "I want" in their statements, like if they are some special snowflakes which they absolutely deserve to be listen. Well, here's a scoop: you aren't.
About quests, not all of them can be absurdly epic: there are MANY of them, and many will obviously resolve in gather stuff/killing monsters. On the contrary, Blizzard made a decent attempt in giving more variety expansion after expansion, offering many quests with something "unique" or simply unusual compared to others.
I didn't even need to go further, WoW is EXTEMELY casual-friendly, and the fact that you said that mobs in dungeons are so hard for anyone which didn't completely devoted himself/herself to the game make me think that you're just another failed troll.
Nice Sherlock, but the fact is not that people don't have the balls for say it, simply 90% of them doesn't give a fuck about it. This is a MMORPG with a cartoonish graphic-style by the beginning, and had some minor improvements over time, and this is enough; MMO don't have to focus on graphics, and Blizzard ofcourse don't want lose customers which always enjoyed the game with a "lesser machine", forcing them to drastic changes, for a change that, in fact, basically no one cares about.
Maybe you have to figure out that the reason for which people keep playing WoW it is not ofcourse for all this stuff, most of them don't give a fuck about it.
The game is OLD, and expansions are not designed to drastically change it like if you're creating a new game. People which keep play WoW regardless is because still like this old game and enjoy the addictions that each expansion grant (gameplay/lore-wise alike). If you want all these changes, you have to ask for a new game, and this is OLD one.
A thread like this one is so fucking pointless.
