I don't think that criticizing the developers when they produce sloppy work (as they have these last few patches) equals hating a game. In fact, it's rather the opposite. Without this feedback, SE doesn't know what they are doing wrong and the result is 1.0 that crashed and burned. The people who love the game the most are often the ones who have the harshest criticism. They feel they have a personal stake in the game's success.

Trust me, there are people who don't like the game. They aren't playing it. There's tens of millions of them. They won't help the game improve. They won't offer suggestions and advice. They won't wait and watch the patch notes to see what's coming next. They will be playing the games that they do like, and opening their wallets to those developers. SE's mission is to change their minds, but they can't do that if they don't know what it is about FFXIV those players dislike in the first place.

So, stop trying to chase people off. We all want a better game. There's much room for improvement, even if the game has come a long way.
