I think what he means is more that people happy with the game aren't really browsing the forums that much. And they're not as likely to click on a topic talking about changing XIV's design formula or whatever because they don't care. A more neutral title might have served your purpose better, since right now I get the impression that it's just an echo chamber for people who agree with the OP.
