I want to point out that so far the posts have both talked about vanilla wow and not really the expansions.
For me personally the game was ruined after Burning Crusade. World PvP disappeared, the addition of Deathknights being incredibly overpowered, gear having thousands of a stat/hp/mana/spell power etc. Vanilla wow was a lot like EQ except you could solo pretty easily if you wanted to but there was still a drive to group to do instances and you still had to travel to do it. These days you just que and instantly travel to dungeons and are deposited right where you left. You never have to leave town to do anything.
E: As to why it's successful you can just read the last couple of sentences of the above paragraph and insert "people are lazy."
