That is a good point. WoW did practically invent the wheel when it comes to new ways to do boss fights. The simple tank and spank method turned into strategic multi dimensional fights. Eventually, once you've learned them, they are essentially the same thing. Move here, move there, DPS, hold DPS, target this, target that. The thing that kills me is they come out with new bosses that have similar fight mechanics, reskin the boss, throw him in another instance, make him a little harder, and then drop loot that is similar quality, but just +10 stats on top of the current best in slot. You never actually get better at the game in any way, your gear doesn't really get better, either. You just scale in numbers, like inflation.
WoW has sort of plateaued since BC. It's been getting worse ever since.
