I played WoW pre-expansion (quit before Burning Crusade) and hit level 60, raided MC and Onyxia (sp) for 2 weeks in my guild then quit out of boredom. WoW offered nothing in terms of PvE innovation.
Good post. I agree in almost all counts - but I really enjoyed how they blended spells/skills across their games.

The only PvE innovations WoW offered was 1) everyone could solo very effectively if they had half a brain, yet grouping was still better exp and required a small degree of skill, and 2) they managed to create a lot of fun and unique 10-20 man experiences prior to WoTLK. They saw the 40-man raid thing get boring very fast in vanilla, so they innovated.

Instanced dungeons (with very simple ways of resetting spawns) made farming easymode, though...
