Yoshi-P: Flippant dismissal of player criticism is a poor look for a lead developer.

When this is the best you can come up with to validate your point, don't even bother.

Criterion Dungeons are a positive and you're indeed correct that some people are going overboard in trying to paint 6.2 as being bad, but you have to look at why that's happening. For whatever reason people aren't hyped for 6.2 or aren't enjoying the content. Why are they so unhappy that they'll launch into rants at the slightest provocation?

You can call them babies and tell them to quit and maybe they will, but for every complainer there's 10 silent leavers who felt the same. If an expansion or two down the line, the population had significantly decreased, you'd only have yourself to blame. Frequent complaints are not a tiny minority of people randomly attacking your perfect game for no reason. It's a sign that there are issues.

No, they made a three paragraphs long post, not just that one line quote at the end, for me that's just the perfect tl;dr version of this community.

I don't know, you tell me, it's one of life biggest mystery. You spend 15$ on it a month and have to invest your limited time to it, yet some people act like they're being forced to play the game at gun point, or have to consume it as sustenance against their will.

Why do they launch into rants because they are so unhappy?

Because they are stuck in the game and apparently can't let go, even though they are unhappy.

They don't have the mental fortitude to go "I don't like this anymore, I should step away."

A lot of us like the game, and don't want to just drop it. We'd rather see it improved. Plus other mmorpgs are awful. Many others don't want to see it go down the route of WoW.

EEEEEEGHHHH WRONG

It's because of constant disappointment, feeling abandoned and then antagonized (by judgy people like you, actually), and, most importantly, due to their investment (both in a monetary sense and time sense) in this game.
You should probably give more thought to why people complain about anything, in general, before you start claiming that they lack fortitude after trying to antagonize them into leaving the game and seeing them persist.

I worked in retail for 7 years.

People will literally complain the price is as advertised. Please.

I've worked in retail for 5 years, and the customer always knows best. Unless you play XIV in which case, the people who take money from you know best.

I worked in retail as well and I'll tell you the same thing I told the rest of my co-workers: get over it. Just because people will complain about the tiniest little thing does not necessarily mean that they're wrong, and we shouldn't judge them for it because we have very little perspective on their lives and point of view.
To me, you just sound bitter for having to work (or got worked way too hard) and now push that bitterness forward instead of trying to understand other people. But that's just my perspective, and I don't know your life, I'll leave you to bare that cross at your leisure.

The customer knows best was a construct come up by people to make themselves feel good for yelling at low level customer service people, nothing more.

Incorrect!
It was a slogan coined by a London department store founder in 1909 who wanted to reassure his customers that they would get good service.
