Again.

You =/= Everyone
You =/= The Majority
You =/= Hordes.

Reviewers (most of which didn't even play the game enough to make a decent idea of it, mind you) criticized a system that was a LOT different than it is now. It didn't have any kind of search, so that "ripping to pieces" is completely irrelevant now.
And anyone that plays any MMORPG knows full well that forums (and the few vocal trolls that populate them) aren't any valid representation of "the community".
EVE Online's forum, just to make an example, is one of the most hateful, spiteful places on the net, yet the game is very successful. Every MMORPG forum is like that, chock-full of very people that need to scream their hate. If they were any representation of any game's community, every MMORPG developer out there would go bankrupt tomorrow.
