Thus when you look at the game through the rosey tinted glasses of HOPING WoW got fixed so you could go back to play it, the game definitely won't measure up since WoWs only endgame focus is raiding, raiding, raiding.

TDLR socially oriented story focused MMO lacks content outside socially oriented story focused content. Surprise. This isn't WoW.
Nobody is saying it is WoW. Whats surprising is that the formula doesn't change AT ALL to accommodate even slightly for the increase in raiders and new players that are flocking from other MMORPGs.
