Blizz's reason is that it gives people with a larger monitor an unfair advantage in PVP. Part of that is that spells don't have a max range, meaning that if you had a smaller monitor, you can be killed even before you see the other player. I think there's a lot of serious PVPers that have developed a lot of strategies involving the screen size and casting at the edge of the screen, so that increasing the resolution can **** with that.
A lot of people have suggested that a good solution would be to make people closer to the edge of the screen (on larger resolutions) be invisible, so that there is no advantage. I think Blizz just doesn't want to do any more development on an ancient and soon to be replaced game.
Personally though, 1440x900 would greatly improve the game for me.
