What a lot of people who companion about wow and eq post velious seem to dislike is new content. It's like you want to never upgrade your gear you got from guk or leave the original zones and starting area. Sorry to tell you but MMO's can't survive without a steady influx of new content. People aren't going to be happy with the new content if it doesn't provide upgrades for their characters.

I think the problem isn't the fact that new content is released, it is the fact that the new content so dramatically overpowers old content that people don't like it. For example from Kunark to Velious, the Kunark gear you can obtain is still relevant until you get up to Velious, where the gear is better but not by too much that it makes someone in Kunark gear irrelevant.
The problem in WoW was that when they released their first expansion BC, the green drops greatly overpowered any epic gear you may have obtained doing 10/20/40 man raids. It was just incredibly disappointing that all the gear you worked hard for was no longer relevant. And they have done that in every expansion since. EQ did it right by only slightly improving the gear in Velious so that old content still mattered when you were gearing up.
