the whole appeal to wow is more of an "action RPG" I think. you don't have to micro manage rolling the die, doing resist checks, mathematical formulas to see how much you resist or how high someone has to roll to hit you etc..
the game engine is doing all of that for you, which lets you focus on having fun.

I think thats why RPG video games have surpassed traditional RPGs as a whole.
Playing standard RPGs does help in enhancing an imagination. I tried playing D and D three years ago, but couldnt get in to it like I did when I was younger. For very much of the points you brought up here. I am, however always open to playing a good RPG video game.
