I'm not really pressing you for flaws or anything, but I'll say that you actually couldn't just "wait for other players to clear the area" in WOW. I didn't play it for long, but I did play it long enough to find out that after a certain level, you just can't count on it unless you plan on waiting around for days on end. No, generally the areas later on are designed specifically so that you do have to deal with it yourself. If you are having trouble, get a party. If a party is having trouble, form a raiding group to charge the place.
But ya know, in general I do tire of repetitive quests of that sort. I like single player RPGs because they can come up with some pretty weird quests that take some genuine thinking. Puzzles can happen both in and out of battle. Not a single MMORPG I've played involves any amount of intelligence outside of some clever prebattle setup.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
