Meh. WoW has been very stale and their update schedule isn't something to be desired. The game hasn't changed at all since the start. All they've done is tweak the system they already had.
Fatigue.
Flying, LFR, LFD, etc. are nice additions to keep the carrot going but they undermine the purpose of a MMO: socialization. Bonds are held by a single string now, the amount of people you meet and befriend lessens drastically each day.
I think people would move on but the alternatives are WoW clones like Wildstar, SWTOR, ESO, etc. so why play those when you can play the superior version? Or this was their first MMO and they have a special bond with it.
The Blizzard name isn't going to carry their titles forever. Blizzard needs to think about lowering the expectations on their games because Starcraft and Diablo aren't performing to what they want. I doubt Titan will be a behemoth either unless they monotize it right IE good free-to-play.
