I am going to take this a different way:
"Given Mythic's previous work (DAoC) and such I'm not sure how much EA can spoil. I mean" they screwed DaoC up so much War really doesn't have a leg to stand on.
I don't know if I am the only one that played DaoC recently, but ew. Given the reports that they are short for programmers I don't think there is much hope. (That said, some of the previews do look pretty cool)

It's possible, but I wouldn't dis WoW in those areas exactly. I know a lot of people who do care about a good plot and compelling NPCs who do love WoW, and Blizzard can, sometimes, make a decent plot.

You mean WERE capable of making decent plots. Christ Metzen is everything I hate in a fantasy world designer anymore. He had awesome ideas at one time, then once his universe got really popular, he caved in to the all-mighty dollar. Take, for example, the death of Maiev Shadowsong. YOU KILL HER YOURSELF IN WARCRAFT 3. But when trying to come up with an idea to help topple Illidan in his Black Temple, someone had the bright idea "let's bring her back for no explainable reason so she can help you out in the fight!" What the hell, Blizzard. What the hell, Metzen. Stop ret-conning the fuck out of your universe, you hackjob.

Technically, it's more like WoW is using Warhammers mechanics.
