This forum has it's own reputation among the community for various reasons that are not so flattering. Needless to say you (OP) are correct about the vocal minority idealism. There is also a profound arrogance which leads back to the first thing i said, that because someone doesn't like something it is wrong or broken. Regardless of the composition or demographic of the forum, the majority of the community do have some relevant gripes in certain cases, but those seem to be the minority of what is posted here and most often times flooded out by people who think they know better than the people who have created the game, or wish to speak for everyone on their behalf with no authority.

At the end of the day the people who like it will play, those that don't will not. This is the only objective trend that will matter in the end.
