I've said as much already in the past but the primary purpose of this forum is to discuss the game and provide feedback to the development team. That aside, I've also seen the fall from grace of World of Warcraft first hand and a large part of that game's collapse can be attributed to devoted players rushing to stifle any negative criticism whatsoever.

It wasn't the only reason, though a lot of us saw the writing on the wall and spoke up in an effort to mitigate problems as we saw them emerging. Such players encountered eerily similar to rhetoric to what is now being spouted within this very thread regarding a supposed 'majority' that is absolutely fine with everything, apparently.
