Also, there's the possibility that Cataclysm was not a well thought out expansion. Several factors which created the surge in Wrath were disregarded in favor of trying something new.

A lot of people INSIST that Cata is the most wonderful thing since sliced bread, almost because if it's not then their source of happy-time will crumble. It's not.

I lived for Wrath - loved it - right through to the end. Bringing in a whole continent with its own personality and feel was brilliant and felt very new and refreshing. But Cata: Tweaking old content and mixing the zones in with old zones needed to be done, but as an expansion it failed. Launch sales numbers do not equal a successful expansion. It left the player base feeling aimless and starved. 11.4 represents a lot of accounts left subbed, but not active, and endgame grinders.

Let's call a spade a spade. You get no bonus points for gushing all over them.
