I don't know about WoW, but Warcraft is an RTS, so all the percentages are transparent. I imagine some of that followed over into WoW. Of course, never having played it, I don't know.
Maybe STO has a more demanding fanbase because it started off as pay-to-play and only recently converted to f2p? So the community mentality still hasn't completely turned around yet in terms of demanding more from developers? I don't know.
Although, weren't there threads that demanded devs to answer drop rate questions back when GW had a lot of farming regarding the loot distribution (if I recall, it was debate over is it better to solo or go with a full group of hench). It kinda died down, but I think that's because farming became so much less profitable over time.
