What the heck are you talking about?

Yesterday's patch released a whole new instance. WotLK came out 6 months ago, the 2.4 patch 6 months before that introduced the entire Sunwell plateau and 2 new instances.

Seems like a fair bit of new content.

And since I only joined after Burning Crusade, the achievements have pushed me to go into instances I had never gone into before. Sure they can be a time sink, but nothing is forcing you to do them.

I don't see many other mmorpg offering so much. It is a cash cow for Blizzard and they seem to be doing a pretty good job maintaining it so far (my 2.5+ hours with a GM ticket before giving up and logging off last night notwithstanding).
