I've been following the assumption that they fired most of the staff that created the game. I think all the content from day one, to TBC was planned out, and mostly created. Then they fired those guys, and now have half-assed workers doing all the new stuff. Fire the expensive workers, hire cheap ones = more money padding your pockets.

I saw a bunch of stuff a while back showing how the Emerald Dream, and Outlands had quite a lot worked on before an expansion was even considered.

Isn't this how EQ started the spiral down the toilet?

Yeah, a lot of companies use skilled/hardworking people to build something big. Then fire them all for people who can do patchwork for a lot cheaper.
