Random observation

The point is, if you don't like something and never speak up about it, it won't ever change. The people who are active on these forums are people who deeply care for the game and want it to improve.
You don't have to always agree with their opinions, but acknowledge that they're rarely complaining just for the sake of it.

On a side note, I never felt like the "other person" you're so happy to attack here tries to speak for all of us. They're stating what they are unhappy with and posting what they think would solve it.

It's one thing to be unhappy about something. "I don't like x. Please fix x"

These posts are more along the lines "If we don't fix x the playerbase will dwindle to nothing. I know what I'm talking about because I have a high standard of quality and I speak for the people." They even claim to have experienced 1.0 and the game is in a state near to that catastrophe.

EDIT: Looking over their characters, their focus is clear and limited. It's only adventure and story. That's someone who will never be satisfied as this game is not meant to satisfy just one type of player at any given time.

XIV is a place to try new things. I think they do a decent job of that. I was a die-hard caster for many years and this game got me trying out healing and tanking and I've fallen in love with and gotten good at both. If you're gonna be a stick in the mud, that's fine. Just don't come here belly-aching over the state of the game like your path is the one true path and you're the authority on quality.
