Not too mention - casual players got bored fast of not being able to try end game content. When that makes up 90% of your population, you have to adapt.

I agree and disagree. I loved the fact that in WOTLK I didn't have to put in as much time to experience the endgame content as I did in TBC, and I could get some of my life back; however, I didn't like the fact that it was just so easy to out-gear a fight. As a healer, I barely had to sweat about healing people standing in fires, because the gear was so easy to get. I would regularly solo heal 10 mans, just because I could (and that was about the only way you could be challenged after a certain point). It really is a tough call though, and you can't please everyone; they made a decision that would benefit the vast majority, and that's good business sense.
Somewhere after the first few months of Cata, the game kind of lost it's excitement for me. I haven't played since about this time last year, and there's nothing really in the new Xpac that looks appealing enough to start up again.
Well... that and the fact that I bought TOR.
