I agree with this. Personally I have been active here since returning, but only because I was laid off from work because my company closed down. I will be starting a new job in September, so my time will be spent more in game then on these forums. So yes I agree most casual players and ones who don't want to read all the ranting will be in game having fun.
As far as the survey I received it was after a interaction when I reported a RMT, it asked what I thought would make the game better. I replied get rid of the discussion forums.
