I don't dislike the game per se but I do have some major issues with it. I took a couple of months off from the forums and realistically didn't really play the game for about 5 months over the summer. I think there are bad actors on both sides for sure, but I think the overall message from more negative posters is that they want the game to just be better. I am in the camp that EW was kind of a let down after ShB both in story and gameplay which is why I took time off from it (that and it's been a phenomenal year for game releases). I am hopeful that with the dev team not focusing on the graphics overhaul and Yoshida talking about all of the battle content they want to do in DT that there will seemingly a lot of things to do in DT which I didn't feel like I had to do or even really wanted to do in EW. I am kind of excited to see if we get the jobs I think and want us to have in the next expansion and if we do then I imagine that will make me want to play through there as well.

Just as something to keep in mind, people will shoot for hyperbole a lot in their arguments about the game to overstress a point and get traction with their posts or threads. Most of the time if you weed through it you can find a decent point that is a good topic for discussion. That being said if you ignore the bomb throwing, there can be some good discussion here.
