World of Warcraft should be the lowest ranked MMORPG, not the highest. People must have never played any other MMO and assumed that this was the best one. It's sad how these first time gamers call themselves "hardcore gamers" playing a high fantasy childish game. There is no real combat, it is just click and press your spell or attack button over and over.
There is clearly no reason to pay any money to play this game monthly. The game is made up of grinding, which is leveling over and over again. You try to get better armor and weapons, which gets repetitive. Players that have supreme armor dominate over everyone else.
PVP is almost non existent compared to other games. That leaves little end game content or replayability. You choose between Orcs, Humans, and Elves. Then you battle it out for control over Azeroth. The quests are boring and monotonous like most games.
Another problem with the game is the age range. It has the annoying 10-16 year old crowd that are not mature and grief people all day. Grieving is where you player kill people usually in large groups who are weaker by far than your character. An example would be a level 60 killing a level 45.
It would be more fun to play the single player Warcraft games then play the online version.
The world is very small compared to other online games. There is only so much to explore before you get bored. Also, the graphics are not very good for today standards. Sure it will run better on old computers, but people should have upgraded to a duo core by now with a decent graphics card. If there into "real gaming".
Supposing for argument sake that being number one, makes you number one. Let's run with that. Well is Microsoft the best software company because they crushed any hope of competition? Was Ford the best car maker before Japanese cars came along? Is Facebook the best social networking site because everyone uses it? My point is that monopolies don't try to improve what they have and be super innovative. There is no need for them to, they don't feel like they have to put money into developing better ways to do things. Essentially it's because they are already making so much money they don't have competition. We should all hope that better competition comes out against WoW. If it doesn't then we are stuck either playing a horrible MMO or none at all.
