I wish people would stop making it seem like Bioware made a mistake in having endings that cut off the possibility of a sequel. They clearly didn't in the sense of not meaning to do so, and I don't think that it was a "mistaken" decision either.

This is not saying I liked the endings themselves (though the EC helped a lot), just that I think it's good that they've firmly ruled out a ME4.
