The amount of bitching on forums is propertionnal to the number of people playing the game, with 10.9 millions subscriber you will always have more people bitching in Wow than in the worse MMO ever created.
10% of the people playing wow and being unhappy it still more players than any western based MMO can claim to have :P
One thing to note is people bitch, they threaten to leave when a new MMO come out ( Age of Conan anyone ?) but a few months after they are back and Wow population is still growing........
Anyway I don't expect Blizzard to release any new MMO before 2012 at the earliest.
They have set the bar very high with Wow and they will want to set it higher with any future MMO and that is going to require a tonn of work ( at this point wow is probably the game that had the most man/hours of developmenent invested to it...)
