In traditional art, say painting, things like color choice/blending/perspective etc. all have methods for improvement. Not all artists create what they intend to create. They try their best to paint what's in their mind's eye, and often times they fail. Have you never met a dissatisfied artist who was seeking to improve their methods?

When people make these critiques they are citing a flaw they perceive. Nothing more, nothing less.

There are people who play this game who are better writers than those writing for it. There are also many more people playing this game who have experienced stories with far better writing and characters.

We pay them money to continue writing it, and to continue letting us play it, so it is as much ours as it is theirs. It's basically a group commission. Without us, they will stop making it. Stop writing it. We are always free to voice our opinions of it, in an effort to have art closer to what got us in on it in the first place.

Surely you've noticed that if they hear enough people asking them to plant peaches, then they will plant peaches.
