why are people so resistant to constructive criticism about the game?

[Nayout]

Not trying to be a contrarian intentionally, but I feel that the majority of criticisms of the game are typically well-deserved and not just trying to make XIV another game, but this of course is going to be rather subjective.

I can only speak for myself, but at times it's really hard to NOT compare all the little flaws and questionable choices in-game when you've seen similar systems implemented in far superior ways in their competition.

I'd like to think that most of us who bother posting do so because we want to see the game really shine, not because we get some sort of thrill by bashing a game that we all pay to play.

This comment is what I mean. The game has a lot of problems stemming from having a fool in 1.0 but the talk that many have had here refers to this sort of thing.
