Is there any MMO no one has ever complained about?

Serious question..
or even one MMO where there is at least some general consensus of a specific MMO to be "awesome, fun, really good..." ?
No matter which game I look into, there is always a group of people saying something like "worst crap ever, stay away from this one"
Comments
exactly what I was about to say
People seem pretty content once they're dead. It must be nice there :P

I hate to say it, but that's why this site as a whole (or it's discussions) are more-less a joke.
It always boils down to "MY game is better than your game and everything else you like sucks because of it!!"
I'm not trying to be a dick, but seriously, the negativity on the site, is about 10-1 vs. the positive comments and interactions. Trying to filter through a sea of discord is often frustrating.
There doesn't even have to be more than 1.
If someone is talking about a game on a forum instead of playing it, it's probably because they have some degree of moderation over the game.
Granted that doesn't necessarily mean they dislike the game, could be they just aren't in the mood to play or aren't in a location to play.
Point being though, if everyone is happy with a game, they aren't quite as likely to be elsewhere ranting or raving about it.

And this was true BEFORE the internet....the internet just gave everyone a megaphone and an amplifier and a shield to hide behind.
There has been several examples of great MMORPG's that have been enjoying positive reviews and support from the majority of the player base. Unfortunately, everything that is of an exceptional quality is usually rare, but here they are.
Ultima Online (during first couple of years)
Star Wars Galaxies (Pre-CU to be specific) you can see how great the game was of the echo we still hear about it.
World of Warcraft (Vanilla, Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King)
I'm sure there are other MMORPG's in between that deserve honorable mention. Anarchy Online, EVE, FFXI, Everquest 1, Asheron Call, Dark Age of Camelot, etc.
Bottom line is I hope and believe one out of the dozen MMORPG's coming this and next year will deliver. Everquest Next, Black Desert, World of Darkness, Star Citizen or ArcheAge. Rest, I highly doubt, but I still hope for the best.
You should add Wildstar to your list man. It looks to be awesome.
I'll rephrase your question and hopefully you can deduce an answer from it.
"Is there anything in the world that no one has ever complained about?"
To give you a subtle hint, the answer sounds like, "So."
If there is a thing(any), it will be complained about.
Yes.
But it had 4 players total, and they were the people who worked on it.

New MMO "Log in and receive one million dollars tax free!"
Forum user: "Why dollar, why no Euro? Lame lame lame!!!"
The only MMO never complained about, is the MMO no one has heard of (and that may not be totally true).
Also, if there had been one, it would have a population of roughly 1 zillion.

You never hear people griping on SWG but that's not to say it didn't get roasted in its day.
On a similar not, I even see people say good things about Tabula Rasa. The reason I bring Tabula Rasa up is it has something in common with SWG. It is no longer running as well.
