Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

[TheCurls]

For the most part it is.

A quick forum search for the term "white knight" yields surprising results counter to your claim. Not that it ultimately matters. Someone, may have been you, pointed out that both sides are annoying in this argument. I just happen to find the ad hominem attacks from the negativity side of the debate to be far, far more annoying and relentless than people defending the game. These so-called white-knights are only being defensive because they're being attacked, ruthlessly and without reason.

There are only so many times people can hear "omg this game is DONE." "I quit!" "screw this SE sucks" before the inevitable "well, if you don't like it, don't do it" argument comes out. And whenever someone says that, they're instantly branded a white knight. Is the game perfect? Of course not. But it's still good enough for people to enjoy, even if some of you think it's utter trash and people who enjoy it are among the dumbest, bottom-feeding vermin life has to offer.

The fact of the matter is, this is a 3.15 patch. It is not a major content patch. That comes in a handful of weeks from now. It seems that an outspoken portion of this community can't understand this fact and have taken up arms to set fire to everything in their vicinity. They're trying to sow discord so they can point at the pile of ashes and say "Aha! I told you it was doomed!" while they're holding the smoldering torch in their hands.
