The point being that about half of the new content is targetted at raiders, and yet they make up less than one fifth of the population. I've heard that in MMOs the hardcore gamers form the linchpin of the community, but I'm not so sure of that myself. Less so with WoW.

So, it looks like we both agree (as I noted in my post) that the only end game content they've provided to date has been raid/rep/BG material. Brilliant!
What don't you follow when I noted that the designers have said explicitly that they know this has not satisfied their player population and are working to give you a greater variety of material to do (including vastly more solo and 5-man material). Are you suggesting that because they're still working to finish the stuff they started putting into the game a year ago that this somehow prevents them from delivering on this new promise? Doesn't the radical Silithus rewrite (targetted explicitly at adding new solo content for lvl 60's) prove this quite eloquently?
Or are you suggesting that in delivering end game raid content that players were screaming for a year ago, they have somehow failed to satisfy their player base?
