People take breaks. It’s possible to get tired of the game or the game was just in a bad state - sometimes just for you, e.g. class/spec doesn’t play well.
The problem is they always rage and say they are quitting then are right back to posting the next day, I can link a ton of those posts from them to back that up if needed, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Since Wrath, I don’t know if the game has experienced as rough of a stretch, technically speaking, than we’ve seen recently.
However, to address your actual thread title, the answer is yes, and it’s not even close. Over the course of vanilla, there were times when the game was unplayably broken for weeks at a time, with Blizzard taking the servers down for 2-4 hour maintenances daily to try to get a handle on it. TBC saw similar problems especially at launch when everybody and their mother was trying to hit Hellfire Peninsula.
- Boats would disappear into the water without starting the load to the next zone so frequently Blizzard disabled the boats and put an NPC to teleport you for months at a time.
- Instances would lock you in a loop where it would fail to load you into the instance, load you back in the world, and then since you were still within the instance portal attempt to load you back into the instance.
- Releasing would frequently send you to a graveyard on the other continent (that’s why we have a button to take you to the nearest graveyard to your corpse).
All of these and similar kinds of problems would occur while seeing similar of the more standard coding bugs as we see today.
To make it clear, I am not defending the state of the game today as being acceptable because of how many technical problems we routinely encountered from 2004 until like 2007. Merely providing an answer to you original question, which is a resounding yes.
