Sounds paranoid but a lot of companies do use negative accounts to spread dissent. Probably the most obvious case is astro turfing on Reddit with all its bots. Usually these forums are pretty reasonable, even Raubahn wasn't like this. The vitriol does remind me of the WoW forums though so I wouldn't be surprised if it's some of that attitude coming in. The worst before this was probably when they made every white mage mad in Stormblood lol
