I believe a Blizzard rep admitted to the press that programmers hid lines of coke between the lines of code.
That' s a common misconception I see quite often the internet.
Addictiveness is more a matter of the person playing than anything else. All MMORPGs do, in general, is offer the potential for longer amounts of gameplay that doesn't get old and boring as fast as other genres tend to. The reason that people seem to get so addicted is that deep down, most people have appallingly weak self-control.
For instance, a good friend of mine has a brother who spends all day, every day on Xbox Live. He never goes out of his room save for food and to go to school. Why is this? Because with Live, a person can play for hours and hours on end without getting bored. I personally play WoW and have an active social life, good grades in school, and am in no way addicted. I occasionally lose tracki of time and play slightly too much, but that can happen in any game.

Same reason you may play whatever video games you play. Because they are entertaining. -

You think CAD's bad? Take a look at the comics Rooster Teeth is making. Worst attempts at webcomics I've ever seen. -

You could tell they were idiots when they started talking about "having taste in video games". That is, if the various other painfully stupid things they said prior to that wasn't enough.
