Because the game allows people to act like stupid idiots and unleash their idiocy that they normally would never do so in real life.Call it an escape from reality. Personally though, to me the game is entirely way too simple and can entertain the dumb majority. Of course, of the dumb majority, some of them inevitably can't deal with the stress of having to work hard in real life and therefore choose to immerse themselves in such environment until they completely neglect their real lives, since, their lives in WoW is far more simple and relatively stress-free.
