In fairness, that was not the only contributing factor in Wildstar's failure. It was a factor, no question; to keep a large and diverse playerbase around, you need a variety of activities people can engage in at endgame, and much as I adored that game I have to agree it fell short in that regard.

But even so, that situation was definitely not the only domino in that chain.
