I think any developer of any mmorpg today have to make references to WOW because there's certainly lots to learn about why it became so popular.

Me? I cannot stand the thought of playing WOW. I tried it for 2 weeks but i was instantly bored with it. Only reason I continued to play it after day 1 was because my brother was bored playing it alone.
I think it became popular because of it's simplicity. Let's face it, WOW wasn't very hard to learn to play.
Easy to get started yes but hard to master. Heroic (hard) mode raids are brutally hard in WoW. Currently there is only 2 guilds in the whole world who have beat the current raids on hard mode, both of them are from Eurpoe too nobody from the US has beat all the raids on hard mode. They have 10m+ subs so that is a lot of people who can't do the hard modes.

People do raid finder easy mode raids and say the game is too easy but then never touch normal or hard mode. Common misconception is that people say WoW is too easy. But when you only play on easy mode its going to be easy.
