Well to be fair BW *marketing* did promise more than "4th Pillar" gameplay. To my memory of all the hype videos, they also promised "heroic combat," new and engaging boss fights that did not rely on giant NPCs, a non typical endgame, an alternative to raiding/PVP, and a next generation experience. Beta did much to narrow those expectations for those who played it, but those who only listened to the hype videos probably got swindled by the typical marketing bullshit.
I still remember some people believing the 200 hours of unique gameplay for was EACH class. They then went around believing TOR would have 1600 unique hours of gameplay. When that miscommunication finally got cleared up, some people were still in denial about it.
