TBH I'm pretty sure WoW doesn't require mods either. However over usage of them on that game has probably caused the skill level of the player base there to degrade to the point they can no longer play the game without them.

I still think they should have slowly upped the difficulty of the game as we progressed through expansions. Most offline games increase in difficulty as you progress further into the game. (Though in the case of a number of open world titles it ends up getting easier because ppl do all the sidequest stuff before progressing the story so they're horribly overgeared/overleveled for it.)
