I don't think it's crazy for Blizzard to expect new members of their team to have played and experienced other products that they offer, regardless of where they desire to work within the company.
That said, it's not a requirement at all for you to be an avid WoW player to work there, it just isn't. I personally know several employees who are either casual players or don't really play at all - and yet still were hired and work at Blizzard currently. I'm sure it's easy for a hiring manager to say anything he wants about the requirements of a company once he doesn't work there, but meh. Besides, when you work there it's free - and it's the most popular MMO at this point, if you're a gamer and you work there, I think it's pretty tough to not at least be giving WoW its fair shot.
