WoW is extremely fun for a great many people!
WoW represents a natural evolution of what people want in a mmog. People want to feel validated, so there's tons of effects for everything you do. Blue swirls matter! No one wants to waste their time, so you click on the map and you're there! People don't want to play tetris while playing a mmog, so why limited inventory? There's a million buttons to press because people want a million buttons to press; it keeps them active. No one wants to try out variations of "I will perform this small menial whatever", they want a big yellow question mark and a menu. Overly complex mechanics are only overly complex because you're old and slow and stupid and these games are for people that matter, the ones who spend all their disposable income on video games and feeling sad.
