People complain because they're passionate and want to see it improve.

Those who don't care about the game and truly hate it do just walk away. Many however are angry that something they love is doing so badly and seems in some areas to have gone downhill, thus they voice (write) their anger to help vent or try to shine light on areas in need of improvement.

Disagree.
There are quite few repeatably slagging this game wherever they can and whichever thread they can troll to a point that these forums are totally poisoned, especially for someone new lurking here.
Sometimes I even feel for Zeni members when list of threads looks like sea of moan and hate, it's depressing even for me so usually I just enjoy the game and staying away from here.
There are problems and they are inevitable in big scale mmo but most of the threads have absolutely nothing to do with rhetoric discussion of how to solve them, it's much easier to just keep creating useless spam with 'this game is broken or dead' nonsense.
I respect people who when bored or not enjoying it anymore just moving on instead hanging on only for purpose of slagging and hating, trying to prove their point that if they don't enjoy it, no one should.

The community members who are rude/hostile towards others in the community or ZOS are bad and should either stop or be moderated. If you feel someone is attacking someone else there is a report feature and the mods on these forums are very good at their job.
The reason you see so many threads about things being broken, the game being dead etc. is because unlike other MMO games it takes months to fix anything if at all. Some of the issues are completely destroying competitive gameplay within the game and we're months into them with not even a post from ZOS acknowledging it's being fixed.

Some players like myself have invested two years and a large sum of money into this game at this point. We love the game but are angry at the way it's being handled, as such we make angry, cynical and hostile posts because we're tired of it. We don't want to walk away from something we care for and are invested in but at the same time refuse to see issues sit there and rot the game from the inside.

This is one of the worse communities I have seen for this kind of behaviour however ZOS has not helped with their corporate style approach to everything where we're treated more as numbers and revenue than players.
