I agree with OP.
When 5.0 released I told my guild mates this year will not bring a expansion, or a lot of content. Reason behind this was I saw their road ahead, and could they did not have the manpower to fix bugs, and push these world bosses(or new raid bosses as they call it) every 3rd month, AND create an expansion pack.
I think the biggest fear of their player base is future of this game, and that makes a lot of players quit. The game publishers say the game will continue, but their willingness to invest money into the game tells otherwise. If were to hire a new developer team, that focused on creating content, while their current team focus on world bosses, class balance, and fixing bugs, then maybe there is a future for this game. Otherwise it just looks like the game is about to shut down, and they try to same as much money as they can before it does.
I feel like the investment in server hardware is a step in the right direction. If they weren't going to eventually invest in manpower, I feel like investing in the servers is a waste. They really do need more people to work on various projects and I'm hoping that we will see evidence of that soon.
