If 1,000 of those say "Well, that's pretty good" and 500 say "Well, that sucks" then we know that 2/3rd of the playerbase are happy.

Now, we have 2,000+ players who have voted dissent, if you can find a post which has more than 2,000+ up votes stating "Hell yeah these prices make me hawt" then you will be able to show that the majority of the user base is happy with paying 40,000,000 for a shoebox.
The forums attract a certain kind of player which most likely does not mirror the total population that plays the game.
