Calling them lazy shows a severe lack of understanding of how business works. The managers aren't really lazy, they just are callous, with deadlines. The only people you could possibly call lazy are the programmers, and that is *VERY* unfair, as it is far more likely that a managerial decision prevents them from getting to stuff than it is that they truly just don't bother.
Is it fucked up? Sure.
Could it be done better? Yes, but not without massive delays in release.
Is anyone in the process really "Lazy"? Hell no.

It is laziness. It's lazyness, combined with greed, making SOE the one of the most unethical companies to hit the pavement.
While I agree it is good business sense to release an expansion half finished, and patch in the shit at a later date to make money on the expansion, it isn't ethically correct. People devote a lot of time to this game, and they make a LOT of money. The very least they could do is pull their head out of their ass, and release something that isn't being worked on 6 months later while they are still making money off the product.
God they have it good. People pay for their product while they finish off the other 35% of the expansion. But it always happens, some fuckmunch always forgets that players get to the content faster, and the reward for the hardcore of their game, is shit loot and broken ass content.
So in effect, it is being lazy. They can get away without finishing 35% of an expansion, make money on it, and can work less as well knowing that they will only need to hit certain milestones.
The only thing keeping this game afloat right now is time invested. I just hope people remember the shit they went through with this company, and all the broken ass content for all their hard play to get somewhere when the reason why it was broken was Sony was too busy trying to make money than being morally and ethically held to their player base.
Oh and:

With the type of fuck ups who play Blizzard games online I wouldn't go near WoW if I was paid to.

You are a fucking moron. EQ has about as many duckfucks running around as a battle.net game. Plus as mentioned, you fail to take your head out of your ass and realize that Battle.Net is free for anyone. If someone actually had to pay $12-15 bucks a month for an account, they are going to act a lot better, not to mention WoW will be a persistant world.
Release date 2007? Christ I could careless about a release date as long as they are using patch days to fix minor bugs that got through and balance classes, instead of fixing content and loot tables that should have been done well before the game was even fucking released.
Blizzard is the last hope of any quality coming out of this shit ridden genre of play now patch later, and banking on players to put up with it because they have so much time invested in their characters.
