Don't like how the game is? Just go play something else.
Don't waste time complaining, just walk away.
My take on it is this,,,
They put out the game in an "easy" mode to get a lot of players and feedback.
It worked better than they ever imagined.
Now they are making it overly difficult, Probably partly to get rid of the more casual and fun oriented players and reduce the noise in the forums,
When it's done the difficulty will probably end up somewhere in between.
So just forget about the game for now, no one really wants to hear the complaints. The devs have made their choice on who they want to play. Just leave it at that.
Come back in a few years and see how the game ends up, I don't have much hope but I respect the decision of the devs to make the game they want to make.
All you can do is decide if you want to play it or recommend it.
End of story.

Aye. I stopped playing months ago and will not return until they are “finished”.
If I’m still alive then.

This is Early Access, customers are well within their right to voice concerns on how things are.
Don't like the complaints? leave the forums. It will be way more productive than asking people to stop giving feedback.

And the devs have every right to ignore absolutely everything you say and make the game they want to make.

True one is not exempt of the other. If you're not interested in player feedback just don't make Early Access where people pay to beta test your game.

And give up the influx of capital to finish their game? Why do that when they can release into Early Access, receive funds and ignore the player feedback (most of which is laughably self-important and of dubious value at best)?

Yeah and it seems its not the Players who loved this game when we first bought it and have been playing it for the last 8 months.
We had faith in Iron Gate and they let us down.

According to Steam TOS Early Access is not to be used to fund your game but to have players participate in its development and allow them ... Early Access to your game.
Look it up, maybe then you can stop saying crap.

The devs have said their making the game they want, not what everyone wants. Enjoy it or don't but no need to be angry about changes made to something you didn't create.

This post is a joke, it's obviously a terrible change. Made my friend and I quit instantly... the food changes are too bad.

End of story.
Why Early Access?
“We want to make the best game we can, and even in beta we’ve learnt that working directly with our community is the best way to do that. Valheim is a huge world and we have lots that we want to add, and Early Access is a way for us to receive constant valuable feedback, collaborate with our players on what they want to see, and keep our players in mind at every step of the development cycle.”

Well there is feedback.. " Hi i find the new stamina system difficult to use because x,y,z"
and then there is 100 posts of "The devs suck the game sucks the new systems suck.."
The difference is one is helpful and useful and the other means taking time to look for information which is ultimately not there and proves to be not only a waste of time but also gives misinformation and could ruin the experience of new players looking themselves for answers in threads.
Giving feedback is great, being rude and disruptive is not :)
