It's entitlement, crying, malcontents, ingrates and haters till Cryptic/PWE BS directly impacts them. Then it's different and they join the unwashed masses. When that time comes we'll welcome you with open arms brother.

I also consider most of the players visiting the Forums as crybabies. The Community you speak of are the Malcontents, not the game-wide Community of players. Try not to forget that most players never come here to complain because they just play. Self importance must come with Entitlement.
I'm with the OP on this. While probably the vast majority of our playerbase is either blissfully unaware of the forums, or doesn't care... why, the latter *was* going to be my point, actually. People who are here, and are often seen as 'complaining' too much, are actually the ones who care enough about the game to voice their grievances.
Only the truly casual player just gobbles up everything Cryptic dishes out, too apathic to care. To them, so little invested in the game, the answer invariably is "Okay, I'll do. Or I don't. Whatever. I simply don't care enough either way." Don't confuse the absence of an opinion with a positive one.
Arguing about me because you have no retort to my points. When in doubt, call it a Troll. Perfect.
I'll post a response when you've made a point worth talking about. You have a right to your view, but given the responses here, on Reddit, on Facebook and on Twitter - you're in a small minority.
It's true that only a small percentage of players have ever posted on this forum, or ever will, but it would be incorrect to assume there's some happy silent majority while a few malcontents complain. We're probably a representative sample.
To compare Sir Ian McKellan to Patrick Stewart is to compare the mights of Zeus and Jupiter. The same levels of sheer brilliance and raw acting prowess under different name and face.
IT CAN'T BE DONE! NAY, IT SHAN'T BE DONE! FOR THEIRS IS A FRIENDSHIP THAT COULD NEVER BE TORN ASUNDER BY VANITIES LIKE THAT! THEIR ACTING IS A GIFT, TO BE ENJOYED BY THE WORLD IN IT'S SPLENDOR!

It's true that only a small percentage if players have ever posted on this forum, or ever will, but it would be incorrect to assume there's some happy silent majority while a few malcontents complain. We're probably a representative sample.
And it's important, too, to remember that there are different ways to handle complaining when you have a need to do so. I think it's a serious misjudgment if someone is acting like an adult and laying out rational reasons as to why they take issue to something (extra points if they provide a rational solution), as opposed to name-calling, flaming, threatening people's safety, and the other immature and irrational things that some people do.
There are legitimate problems here and I have also seen some very clever solutions from some forum posters that Cryptic would do well to take heed of.

omg ... we need stage performances in STO, like acting PR areas lol, it would be epic! (no seriously lol) like shakespear and stuff lol
Another important point to make about the "silent majority" is that they're silent, they're silent when things go bad and they're silent when they leave, you can't even hear the door slam. The vocal ones are mostly the ones that want to actually improve the game, keep the subscriber numbers up, keep the C-Store sales going, if we don't feel that we've gotten what we've paid for, the silent majority also just bogs off to someplace nicer having never seen the efforts made on the community's behalf.
We were reenacting the great debate over how unity is impossible unless a gun was held to our collective heads that was featured in the mission Surface Tension. No one was Tuvoc though; no one is level-headed enough here to simply think logically and coldly.
We have cannibals over there, enraged people over here, and distractions over there.
Meanwhile, the Cryptine are advancing and taking your bases.
not really, see? we all know meimeitoo is a Taylor Swift clone that looks like an Old Navy clothes pic pose, BUT we all get along without a gun to our non collective heads and we are happy and stuff
well we are taking their forums instead, so it's an equal trade, maybe, and stuff ... lol

Ah yes, the grand Unification Theory. The OP is right, though, but only a meta-level, in that a great many people are notable ticked off (either over Cryptic, or on a meta-meta level, over the people who are angry). Thing just is, that few seem to be p*ssed off about the same thing.
But yep, definitely noticing more tension since DR. If that's what the OP meant, I agree.

Who say's I'm not a cannibal?

*grabs a blanket and hides behind meimeitoo!*
Really, there is only one issue that everyone in the Trek fandom can agree on.
Patrick Stewart is the greatest actor to ever live.
Go watch his King Lear. It will CHANGE you.

Good reply. Excellent performance. The man energizes the stage.
But I think Ian McKellen's 2007 performance was slightly more nuanced.
Who say's I'm not a cannibal either?! :P
*eeks and hides in the corner with a stick*
Your forum avatar indicates you're much more sophisticated than the average functioning cannibal.

First I'm being accused of not being a cannibal, now I'm being accused of being functioning, when will it ever stop?
when the people and the puppies and the critters and the cannibals can all live happily ever after and stuff
Who's to say that said avatar isn't just a picture of their next meal?

Well, just wait for Taylor Swift's next album: if she's still alive by then, you know I didn't eat her.
Wait, wut?! What were talking about again?! LOL.
