Skullheart, a lot of your grievances have been patched recently. An updated matchmaking system (introduced v2.1.0) attempts to level the playing ground in Battlegrounds by pitting similar organized and geared groups against each other. As for waiting, since the inception of the cross-server battlegrounds (introduced v1.12), even after Arenas, Horde side waiting is usually well under 5 minutes.
KillerofNoobs hit the nail on the head when he said the community ("little kids and jerks") is to blame for most of the issues. You can only hold Blizzard accountable for so much. Any game with as much success as WOW has enjoyed will have similar problems. The one problem that did get away from them for a bit was gold farming and the in-game advertisement of it. Even that was fixed recently though...or hindered, at least.
I find it hard to believe that a "hardcore gamer" that enjoys PvP hates the Arena. Not flaming, but what do you find wrong with it? I agree, though, that world pvp is the way to go and wish WOW would start leaning that way, but it doesn't seem like it ever will. DAoC did it best, IMO. Keep raids and relic runs were always a lot of fun and always pulled even the lowest level characters onto the Fronteir when being attacked. Not to mention Darkness Falls. Ahhh...
