I get asked this question a lot when I criticize game design. I'll answer your question with another question: Why would I bother trying to convey all of this to the developers if I didn't care about the game?
The game isn't terrible and I enjoy it quite a lot. I'm not complaining because it's terrible and not worth playing; I'm complaining because I know the developers can do better and I want to push them to try harder and be more awesome.
As customers, we have a responsibility to make sure companies stay on their toes and don't get complacent. We have to stay smart and informed and let them know when we don't feel like we're getting our money's worth.
I really like FFXIV and I really want this game to do well. To that end, when I feel that the developers are doing something that boggles the mind and defies any known form of common sense, I will call them out on it. To that end, if I feel the developers need to add or adjust something to make the game better, I will let them know.
I suspect you get asked the question a lot because you do an awful lot of complaining about the game and not very much praising it.
