You should damn well know better than to go trolling threads. Knock it off.

Nothing wrong with people expressing their opinion. 'Deal with it or cancel your subscription' is not a very customer-oriented stance--so while you may take it as an individual, there is still some value to people expressing their feelings on such matters. Unless the game is somehow viewed as perfect, there is certainly room for valid critiques of issues without denigrating them with the 'QQ' label.
(And, for the record, I have canceled my sub as of about a week ago, so I'm happy to put my money where my mouth is in this regard. I've never, ever "quit" the game before, and this was not an 'easy' decision to make from the standpoint of my investment in the game and guild, yet I'm still dissatisfied enough with the current game to do it.)
Anyway, the fact that you still frame it as 'liking' the current content still shows you more or less are missing the point to a large degree. I don't really mind the quality of the content--but I do mind the quantity and the reliance on recycled content for what little quantity there is. Initially, I was pretty happy with the content and found it to be quite fun. Like many others, however, I found myself twiddling my thumbs and not seeing any reason to log in pretty quickly. I went from very excited to completely bored in a very short period of time. This isn't a an issue about 'liking' the content, and I don't believe that has really been stated.
Blizzard can argue 'quality over quantity' until they are blue in the face (harhar) but, realistically, given the stature of WoW as a product, they need to be producing both quality and quantity to really maintain the polish of the product. Making it easier to burn through content at the same time as lowering the volume of content seems like an absolutely suicidal confluence of design decisions.
