The RTS genre was getting overloaded when Warcraft 3 came out, and the MMO market was there for the taking. It was probably the smartest decision Blizzard has ever made. If you cared about the Warcraft storyline, then WoW was a great way to flesh the world out in a way you wouldn't get from the RTS.
It really is an odd complaint. I've never played WoW myself, but you can't deny the success. And it's not like they ruined the RTS genre by making WoW. Boycotting Blizzard over it seems like a weird response. Didn't Starcraft II come out after WoW? You like RTS, but you're denying yourself from playing SCII because of WoW?
