Actually. Some of those people did have legit complaints about some of the game mechanics, and the PvP forums are still full of rage, and with good reason. In all honesty negative feedback is still positive feedback. If everyone just "Went with it", especially in an MMO, the dev's would assume everyone was happy and nothing would get fixed or improved upon. The reason things have died down here has less to do with the fact that the community is booming with new enthusiastic subscribers and more with the fact that you can't post on the forums unless you have an active subscription, and most of the people you described have probably canceled their subs. I doubt if people wanted to stop playing the game, they'd continue to give Bioware money just so they could go on the forums and complain. But, at the time they were here, they were still paying customers and had every right to express their views on the game and how they disliked it, just as you have every right to express your views on the game and how you DO like it.

Baulders Gate Neverwinter Nights Knights of the Old Republic (For all intents and purposes, this MMO's prequel) Mass Effect Dragon Age Sure is George Lucas in here. And this is why I love playing a trooper. 4 of my 5 companions wear the same armor with the same stat's I do. I can just give them my hand-me-downs and never have to worry about feeling like a ******* for needed light armor for my companion when I myself can't wear it.

Tell me about it. I'll gladly accept the "You can't play the auction house or else you get banned" nonsense if I never have to hear "I can do this in my sleep. Maybe I will/I'll sleepwalk through it.Maybe I will" or "Now you'll see how Havoc Squad gets things done" again.

I would assume some people are more miffed about not having an equal chance of claiming some of the names they want, as opposed to simply not being able to play. Despite wanting to play, I'd forsake the entire early access duration if it meant I could get the name I want for my Trooper ahead of time..
