@Tauer: It's sadly part of the human mind: The more you have, the more you want. It's not just companies, it's natural for our kind to want more and more.
Blizzard's answer would be: No one forces you to play it.
Anyway, while I don't care 'bout that since I have no interest in playing this particular MMO and will never have that and while I think this is pretty OT, I'll make the reason more understandable for you since I understand your feelings:
- Expansion cost: While it's cheaper to create a MMO expansion than a game, it affords time and money. They want to get that back while also gaining something from this whole effort.
- Running/Monthly costs: In order to play multiplayer games, you need servers and servers need what? Right, money! And, of course, here as well Blizz wants to get some money out of it over time instead of only once from each user. Also, support creates new costs. Running/monthly costs are the main income of MMOs.
To sum it up: A part of the money is used to cover Blizzard's fixed costs that come with WoW while the other part is to make the game viable. It's ordinary for a company to try and gain something from their products.
Nope, because the world is unfair. No need to discuss such a thing.
Putting it down wouldn't help at all. It'd be replaced by another game. And if MMOs generally are put down? People find a new way to squeeze money out of each other.
Also: Nothing, absolutely nothing is worse or looks worse than EA.
2. The price. Hey, why dont you give us a fucking ton of money, and even more money monthly, and 45 euros for every expansion, so that you can play this goddamn game? Oh btw, you need to give us something ike, I dont know, 20 euros for faction change, appearance change, character teleportation, race change and name change. Oh btw, you need to give us another 13 euros for fucking GAME TIME! And another 60 euros for some pets. You know what blizzard? Not everybody is rich. Why am I even saying this? It is obvious that you dont have the brain cells to understand it.

If I gave that money to charity, the world would be fucking rich right now.

This game is a freaking crime. It should be put down. It is so fucked up that it makes you look worse than EA.
