Do you pull this excuse on every single game reviewer that doesn't give a game max score as well?

I'm sure people would love to create the perfect game for themselves if they could. Problem is that it requires expertise (which can be "easily" gained with time) and then some more time to actually code the stuff into something workable. As we all know, time is a finite (and valuable) thing in our lives. Thus we have to settle with something that gets as close to the perfection we desire. But things are rarely so perfect, so instead of just jumping ship immediately, we stick around for a while and try to give suggestions on what would improve the game for ourselves. As you can see from the forums, everyone has widely differing ideas on what constitutes perfect class balance and what position craftsman should actually hold in MMO society. Some are polite, some are slightly lacking in that area. And it's only good that people speak up. Like Ghostcrawler said before he left Blizzard, he'd still prefer the angry and passionate players, rather than the ones who simply remain silent and apathetic (and seemingly happy). I'm sure a lot of people agree with him, though I'm sure I'll be chased by the pitchforks for mentioning WoW now.

However, I will agree that constructive criticism is far more preferable than just dumb raging. There's still a difference between "l0l Yoshi-P ur geim suxx0r so hard i played checkers wit ur mum yesterday DDDDDDD" and "Oi, sucker, give me my group content outside of instances, you miserable cur!", even if they're both distinctly lacking in tact. One wishes everyone could be civil at all times and remain composed through frustration with game mechanics, but I suppose it's just human nature that we have to deal with in the end.
