Both the positives and the negatives are subjective and depend entirely on what people think,
You are right that everything is subjective.
May I also point out that saying that "the positives are so few in number" is also subjective? ^^

My subjective viewpoint is that SE got a lot of things right with this game, and I know many of my in-game friends agree: storyline, a myriad of quests for all the different jobs, crafting, being able to play my character in a variety of ways and mix and match skills, being able to equip any item I want, etc.

Of course, the things I like are often things that other people here hate.

It's all subjective.

Saying that people who hate and/or have left the game are the "majority" is still an assumption.
You may be right, but there are no numbers to prove or disprove it.

Fortunately for me, I see a vibrant community of many, many long time players on my server who far outnumber the regular posters I see here. So from where I stand, the negative viewpoint is the minority.

Again, though, it's all subjective. ^^
