It can. However comparing someone complaining about the price of something because they just don't want to pay money for it to someone who doesn't want to do something they've technically paid for access for and have suggestions on how to make better is quite a stretch.

In one case we have a very black and white solution: Bite the bullet and buy it or wait for a sale or don't buy it and complain hard enough that they might cave and reduce the price. We know that people are buying the item even in the small sample that's provided via the forums. This means that SE has very little reason to cave and reduce the price since it is selling. You can make an argument they'd sell more if they reduced the price, but then they'd HAVE to sell more to make the same amount of money. Money in the bank to a company is usually much more attractive than potential money without any sort of contract attached to it. The prudent choice here then is buy it or don't. "I don't have enough so you should make it cheaper" is whining. "It's not worth what you've priced it" is provably wrong by instance of people buying it. DON'T BUY IT IF IT'S NOT WORTH IT TO YOU.


In the other case we have content you've arguably paid for already , or at least paid for access to. It's many faceted because there's the actual content itself, the rewards if any and the possibility of future content locked behind the initial foray. Some people will want the rewards but not want to do the content, some people will like the content but think the rewards are dumb and some may only be concerned because they cannot complete the content or complete it in a reasonable amount of time. People can offer suggestions like what they found unpleasant about it or what they'd like to see in the future because they're already invested in it literally.

It's the difference between buying a team jersey or pennant and paying to watch a game where after you enter everyone's shoes have been glued to the ground. In one case you see the price and decide yes or no. The other you go in expecting a certain amount of value for what you paid but get something other than what you expected.


You can reply "So Don't" to any suggestion but it matters what the problem is.
