Which is funny when you think about some of the people that complain about complainers. When they tell people to quit instead of complaining about something is wrong.
They don't realize that their suggestion for people to quit is actually quite detrimental for the game. Without negative feedback for things that are broken or wrong for the game, the developers won't change anything.
While they have their own vision of things, if no one speaks up when something is going wrong, it's not going to change and things are never going to get better. I just wish the white knights on the board would get that through their heads.

I never called you a troll.
I was not trying to hurt your feelings.
I just wanted you to see that your were coming here of your own free will to read stuff that upsets you and you chose to go even deeper by attacking those people and then you are now upset one of those people defended themselves.
I'm sorry if I made you feel bad.
However, you did call people elitists and tell them they should stop complaining about the game when even you know there are issues to be fixed.Thank you, you have enlightened me, and I bow down to your superiority. Can we end this now?
Sure.
Have a nice day.

Surely we can make an exception for complaining about those that complain, and giving the devs a pat on the back?
Maybe initially, closer to launch day. Now however its just as tired as those complaining unconstructively about the game. It really offers nothing as a solution. The Mods have done a very good job in allowing people to vent about the game. It is the community who has done nothing constructive mostly when counter arguing or fanboi-ing it up.
I agree that there is a need for people to vent about their frustrations with the state of the game so long as it is constructive but for the most part on these forums it is not. It is all tantrum filled venom reflective of our culture in its worst form. Those who come here to honorably combat that by complaining about those people are only fanning the flames.
The solution would be to grab a post/quote and ask for specifics in such a way that you are offering them help as well as pointing out how childish/moronic they are sounding. It usually shuts them down.
What this current post does it brings out the trolls and monkeys and this thread eventually gets locked.
Forgive me for trying to be a bit positive, and trying to have a chat with some other nice people roaming the forums. Maybe this thread wasn't exactly the way, but I just wanted to state how I felt about what people are making the game seem like. Call me an idiot all you like, I had no intention of blowing the troll-calling warhorn

If the suggestion is this behavior never happens on Bethesda forums because everyone gets along so well, then that suggestion is simply wrong (see the OP's original post). When Skyrim was released, the hate was pretty damn near lethal on a number of issues - including the lack of classes. (Don't take my word for it, you can still see some of the threads on the Bethesda forum.) That hate goes back to the removal of spears and short blades (from Oblivion), levitation and so on. Every release sees this type of behavior.
I've played TES games for over 10 years and own every one. I own multiple copies of Oblivion and Morrowind. I feel as if I've done my part to financially support the Bethesda franchise and have been a supporter and a fan of the francise up this point. Hell, I even paid over $100 for the collectors maps and materials for TESO.
And by now I've paid more for TESO than any video game than I've ever owned. And I still pay every month. I pre-ordered, paid the expensive price for pre-release, and entered a game that was pretty buggy - despite several betas to prevent this. Also, I've entered a game where little, if any, forethought was given to the kind of problems the game would face upon release (Gold spammers, bots, etc.) And while I waited for Zenimax to fix these things, they just released more content.
I am frustrated because I still pay a monthly fee to play this game. I'm glad you're having the experience of your life - really, I am - but I'm paying every month to play a game that doesn't even have an editable keybinding.ini or a list of completed quests. And neither of these things are difficult to implement; they were just left out - a clear sign of poor game design. (Neither of these issues are huge, but they are symptomatic of a larger problem ...)
Maybe the hate is overkill, but there are some frustrated people here - and they paid for the game, just like you did.

Conversely, there are better ways to point out issues and bugs than raging out and threatening to take your business elsewhere.

Here are the general forums for the most popular MMO.
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/984270/
Look at ALL those dissatisfied customers. It's very simple. There are more bugs, exploits, server issues, class imbalances, and general bad things in ESO than there should be given the time and money put into this game.
Hell I don't even like or play WoW anymore but it's very clear that Zenimax should never have released this game given the current state of it. STOP apologizing for them. They should be apologizing to us themselves.
I'll reiterate that I would LOVE this game if everything worked the way it should.

Telling them to go away is just kicking yourself in the rear. The real problem is the people who are doing what you recommend. And there are many, many people leaving. This isn't an ES single player game so don't treat it like one. It requires a subscription base to remain alive or go... gasp... to free to play (or dead). No one wants that. No one.
All of the things that are badly busted like class imbalances and crazy pvp lag are the kinds of things that make or break this game. No fix: no future.
