But opinions based on reasons can be better or worse, more or less criticizable, depending on how well the reasons actually support the opinion. We are all entitled to our opinions, no matter how badly supported they are. But when we discussing them, and putting reasons forward for them, we open the door for criticism. Not criticism of ourselves as people, but criticism of particular opinions.
You have not yet given any reasons that this actually reflects poorly on Anet. You've said what you wish for ("My wish would have been for them to double the size of the GW1 team to 8ish, as this would only decrease the GW2 team by 4%"), and you've explained that this is not what you expect from them ("If we can expect this kind of support in GW2 after the game comes out... well I may have to reconsider whether or not I really want to buy another anet game."), but you haven't explained why yet.
Do you think we deserve more than we've currently gotten? Why? Do you think Anet has an obligation to continue providing content for the game? Why? (What would the content look like? Free updates like GWB? Paid updates like BMP?) Kunder was, I think, suggesting that to say that we deserve more than we've gotten is to hold Anet to far, far higher standards than any game developer currently meets.
Nobody is denying that this is, in some sense, disappointing. But one way to be disappointing is just to not be what we want. Rain can be disappointing if you want to go for a hike, but that doesn't mean you deserved sunshine.
The lack of regular updates isn't a recent occurance either - it has been going on for a long time now and has only gotten worse.
