It's not a matter of the "hint of complaint" leading it to fall on deaf ears. It's a matter of the same fallacy of a complaint that we've heard year in, year out for the last several years. Complaints without action accomplish nothing but antagonizing the masses, and when it's a rerun, it's even more antagonizing because we've already had these discussions and explained the only way to resolve it: Do something about it yourself.
It really is just that simple. Not enough interesting villains for your taste? Create one with a compelling personality, and not just a heap of muscles and claws. Not enough combat? Develop a personality that can irk people until
they want to fight
you. Too much friendliness and cuddling going on? Lead by example and find some friends that won't fall into the pattern and don't participate in the love-fest.
That is why the response sometimes turns to "If all you're going to do is complain, then leave"; because if the one making the complaints isn't doing anything actively to turn their own situation around, it's no one else's responsibility to make the change on the whim's of one dissatisfied member of the community. Or even several dissatisfied members of the community, for that matter.
Change has to begin somewhere, and the only way to affect a change toward what you're looking for, is to initiate that change for yourself.
