Do not appease the whiners.
So discard everyone else and listen to you. I see.
There are a lot of good points made in some of these threads. To lump them all as whiners is silly. This game still needs some refinement. If you can’t agree with that well I guess you see the world through rose colored glasses.
I thought the karma farming chains and the repetitive dungeon runs was a treadmill? Are we playing the same game?

There is a huge difference between ‘whining’ and constructive criticism. It’s the difference between “omagod if you do not reverse this imma quit!!!1!” and “here are some suggestions to make it better”.
I don’t mind the second and will even participate in those discussions. The first is just childish and does not deserve any serious attention. They just need a spanking or two.
I agree a little with OP but I understand others.
FIRST:
Game have issues. Like EVERY MMO there is. Things will be fixed, changed, upgraded, adjusted etc. It’s common thing. Everything that look good on paper does not always work in real life.
SECOND:
Whiners are EVERYWHERE. Kids like that come to GW2 or other game… and start complaining that there is no lightsabers, spaceships and dinosaurs.
As example, on MMORPG I saw idiot (I can call that person only an idiot) that was whining that GW2 is “not enough hardcore”. Asking “what would make this game hardcore” didn’t end with answer. SAME PERSON in other thread whined about GW2 being too easy.
Day later he whined that he was killed over and over in some dungeon and that dungeons should been easier.
After someone said to him that this mentioned dungeon is OK and group of organized players can clear it without big problems – he said that "he is not professional gamer (?) and dungeons are too hard.
I even found a person that was complaining that there is no grind in MMO but 2 days later in another thread he was complaining that in GW2 you must grind dungeons or something.
IN THE END
I saw truth. There is “whiners community” on the internet. It’s a community full with NEVER HAPPY PEOPLE who will complain about EVERYTHING and their whining change by wind, time of day or weather… or something like that.
Those people will be never happy because if you make them happy doing what they want, they will just whine about something else. Or they will whine about changes because “you made game casual” or something. Make game harder and whining will start again.
We also had whiner that complained he was hacked. I linked him 2 dictionaries with internet passwords (something that crackers use for fastest – dictionary attack). He found his password (common words) there.
Then he complained that those are stolen password from ANet while I told him that this is just list of popular or leaked passwords and this is how he was hacked.
OR he gave his password registering on some fansite owned by scammer.
Seriously, no cure for stupidity.
SOLUTION ?
It’s simple. Do your job, don’t even try to “appeal to the community” EVER. Most of us play the game. We don’t spend whole day on forum whining about stuff. We care mostly about bug report and suggestion box.
So discard everyone else and listen to you. I see.
