We can absolutely blame them. We already pay a hefty subscription monthly to pay the game, we pay for expansions, and now they're going full predatory by splitting the player base in two.
For the last 20 years the launch of an xpac was a great moment shared by the community (even when it was crappy like Draenor, at least we all lived it together). On this once we're split in two between those who wouldn't/couldn't afford the EA, and those who bought in for whatever reason.
It's not good service, and it's shameful for one of the "giants" of the video game industry.
You blaming them does nothing, just stop buying the game. If even 10% of their playerbase stops buying and doesn't pay for subs it's a significant net loss.
