Sadly it happens in literally every game, no matter how badly that game might be doing. Some people just like feeling morally superior and labeling someone else as "whiny" and "entitled" while painting yourself as positive, open minded and appreciative seems like a good way to achieve that. But in reality it's stifling someone else to create an illusion.

There is nothing wrong with being unhappy with the game. If the forums seem to be all doom and gloom, maybe there's actually a problem and it would be a good idea to address it. I never understand the logic of "yes, it's all doom and gloom but everything's actually fine". WoW used to do that all the time, coming up with all sorts of reasons of why complainers were a loud minority and everything was going well ...until their game fell to pieces.

The forums do not represent the entire population, but while the players who are happy are playing the game, many more people who are unhappy are simply not playing anymore. I see players in my friend list or FC go inactive constantly. While the game certainly isn't dying, for every complainer there are a considerable number of silent leavers.
