It is so true that there is a minority group of loud voices on the forum. You can recognize some of these names in almost every thread. Indeed, many of them have posted in this very thread. One has to wonder where these individuals find so much free time to be constantly posting so much.

I think these people, because they are so "loud" (constantly present and posting on the forums), give off an illusion of being in the majority. I think they themselves even come to believe they are in the majority as a result. These people, by coincidence, are also some of the biggest complainers. Most of us are actually very grateful for so many of the new features and updates to the game!

I find it very off-putting and I'm sure other new players feel the same way. It would make us feel a lot more welcome in the community to be able to input our voices through a ratings, "like/dislike," or upvote/downvote system.
There was a thread about paying for some additional band width as an individual option. Did you feel unwelcomed in that thread? For me it seemed you'd be happy to reward SSG even more than you do already to raise yourself up out of the mire of performance. Leaving us to carry on suffering. Perhaps the reason is that other forum users have analysed the proverbial out of both the technical and business reasons why it might be unattainable. We should be standing together on the Picket Line so all benefit. Even those who aren't sufficiently advanced in the game to see many of the problems yet and avidly support SSG, and are in for a shock when they do.

What would have made a difference to that discussion would be a Blue input (from the guy who'd have to implement it) to tell us if this was even technically possible and another from the business side saying if it could be paid for. We are left to squabble.

As ever it's SSG in a Daybreak "straight jacket" - no comment. At best some spin for enough to believe.
