The problem is what is constituting constructive criticism? Say I give criticism that this game isn't like Guild Wars 2 for 3 years, would you consider the negativity warranted? Of course not, you'd consider me a fool for wanting FF14 to be like GW2. There have been criticisms of the game that make no sense, and have been spouted for years. Those are not worth listening to and are just negative because "GAME ISN'T LIKE OTHER GAME", and unfortunately several posters on these very forums spout them.
