If more people understood this, a lot of forum debates wouldn't be framed as 'critical of the game' vs. 'for the game'. They would be framed as 'for a specific change' vs. 'for preserving the status quo'.

If a suggestion goes against something you enjoy, you're obliged to speak out against it. Otherwise you end up with situations like what happened with Kaiten, where a stray bad take on the forums ends up needlessly influencing game design. Just stamp it out when you see it.
