You're exactly right the people that love the game rarely post here, take it they post it on a website dedicated to the game. This is the flame pit for people that don't like a certain game, That video cracked me up, thanks.
Negative about the negativety, you're exactly right.
So say something positive and righteous for a change! Dig how beautiful it is out here.
OP: paragraphs are very useful.

I like being negative and critical, I don't understand why some people take offense to it. I don't like jumping into a herd and championing something, I will try to disect it first and see if I can see any flaws, and I don't mind pointing them out. Some people love everything, to me it's just irrational behavior, they just jump from one thing to the next, everything is awesome, well it's not, most things have flaws and suck, if everything was great there would be no progress. There is this stigma attached to being negative about things, although I get along fine with people who are negative with me, so the issue isn't with us ^-^.
Note that the argument is entirely circular; the premise is the same as the conclusion.
Amazing, but this question will get check off on the essay exam. D-

Yes, there area lot of craptastic games out there. One could spend the majority of their lives making posts about how bad some of the games are. But why the hell would you? Why not just move on and play something else? Take your time and make a solid post on the games official forums. Post in a way that provides the developers with information that let's them know what you didn't/did like and maybe what they could change/improve.... then move on.
As others have said, the MMO community is really quite awful. People say whatever they want without any consideration for others at all.
I'd love to see MMORPG.COM set a trend. I would love to see them mute all trolls. Take their forum/posting privileges away. If a poster just posts for the +1 or to try to start an argument... mute them. Block their IP/MAC address.
So what do you do when product 'X' is hyped up by the community of said product AND the developers?
Do you sit there and go "yea sure, sounds cool", do you allow them to continue spouting nonsense when you feel in your gut that it is?
With RIFT we had the same'ol same'ol of "AMAZING! This is going to be the best MMO for the next 10yrs!"....
With SWTOR we had the same'ol same'ol of "AMAZING! This is going to be the best MMO for the next 10yrs!"....
With AION we had the same'ol same'ol of "AMAZING! This is going to be the best MMO for the next 10yrs!"....
With TERA we had the same'ol same'ol of "AMAZING! This is going to be the best MMO for the next 10yrs!"....
With GW2 we had THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE THE SAVIOR OF OUR GENRE!
Guess what, the fact that you're complaining about people whom are trying to shut these unrealisticly bold-faced lies about the genre means that you don't want "Negative" criticism EVER. That will do WORSE than people complaining about product 'X'. If no one ever complained we'd be stuck with 1000000000 clones of World of Warcraft, and yet all the other gaming platforms & genres are evolving with technology.
Is the MMO industry evolving? Of course not when we have people like the OP who are willing to accept mediocrity passed off as a higher quality product because we're being told that it is.
I will not sit here and see the same product be re-skinned and pushed out time after time after time, and then be told that it is "innovative" and the "next step" for MMOs when it obviously is a bold-faced & outright LIE. I have a feeling that many people are the same way.
You have zero sympathy from me OP so you can go back to burrying your head in the sand & calling everything "Just Fine".

Having a different opinion must mean you're a troll.

The reason for all these negative threads is because for over a year now, this community has been subjected to a ridiculous amount of hype for GW2. One most memorable thread was the "Paradigm Shift" Thread.
Well, good as the game is, it's no paradigm shift and since each and every negative opinion that was ever presented in these boards of over a year had been squelched, ridiculed, trolled and in many cases, locked to shut the dissenters up.
Well, guess what? There is no way any game could ever live up to the level of hype this one got and now people are disappointed.
It's called backlash. It has happened with EVERY MMO released since WoW and now it's GW2's turn.
Maybe, if as a community, we welcome dissneting opinions and validate them and discuss them under the assumption that "OP" is justified, we can all come to a realistic expectaition of what's to come. But that did not happen here. Never does, and I don't particularly see it starting any time soon.
So this is really a thread about GW2 and how everyone should like it as you do.If this rule becomes implemented, I think we should also mandate that you cannot post a good thread if you enjoy a game.
These forums are a mirror of society today, combine that with the aninimoty of the web and its a deadly concoction.
Not only that but you have certain internal groups at war....
Sandboxers vs Themeparkers
Old School vs New School
Sub'ers vs F2P'ers
Who ever said "Familiarity breeds contempt" never tried anonymity.
In MMOs itself community is often great, but on the forums there are the worst human piece of shit. Sadly it apply to any forum, not only MMORPG, but some are worse than others.

This is not Stalinist Russia Blackwatch censorship is bad and who gives you the right to dictate who's a troll and who's not? Trolls to many are just posters who are critical towards their favorite game as seen in SW:TOR, TSW and GW2 forums over the past few months. I've just been called a troll and I'm geniunely not, I maybe forthright in my opinions but thats what I'm like in real life and I have posted positive threads on this forum one getting me the spotlight poster tag which I'm proud of actually. I like this forum because it cuts through the BS and there are rigorous and interesting debates all the time but some just cannot hack it it seems if you don't massage their ego's and agree with everything they say they get upset and whing that we are all whingers.

I'm pretty sure Trolls don't give a flying fuck about whether their criticisms are right; they just love to set a topic ablaze with anger with their ability to misinform and deceive.
Looks like it.
