That's the reason why there's so much arguing on the forums because players don't want the devs to listen to the other side.
That's exactly why I'm curious. If we on the forums are the "vocal minority" and the forums are where the devs are getting all the feedback/ideas, how well do we represent the desires of the majority of players? Particularly in terms of difficulty and content.
It sounds like the impression is that the people not on the forums are basically just "playing the game" (what a concept). The people on the forums are more interested in the "meta-game" - lore, contributing feedback, griping/praising, strategies/theorycrafting, vanity pictures...

A member of my FC didn't know about the beast tribe quests until yesterday, which surprised me until I realized that if you didn't read the patch notes (or forum complaints) you'd only find them by looking for available quests in Gridania/Ul'dah. >_<
