Doubt anyone goes to the forums purposefully to write about how much they like a class, while most people will make a post/thread about the bad parts
Well, at least there's quite a few threads giving good feedback about what works and what doesn't. About what could work and what should be changed; Suggestions about short term changes and long term reworks. Getting those bad experiences out asap is also good for the devs, as it tells them what needs to be changed or fixed for the next patches (if possible. Some things like an AST rework would have to wait till next expac for example).

The way I see SE work is they depend on data to see if a piece of content is popular (you only have to check Diadem and Eureka) while also taking complaints and threads into account. I don't exactly know how their interpret said complaints, but I would wager they at least notice the parts that people mention most (which is valuable information as it tells you what gameplay part needs to change or improve).

Negativity will always get more attention than positivity that's for sure, but talking both good and bad just brings more balanced feedback that is easier to digest in general.
