I would be more precise and say "on forums are only those who like forums". There has been long time since players who dislike forums are announced to be "second-grade" players, and they even cannot act against such devaluing - as all discussions go through forums.
As someone who dislikes the forum, I don't feel like the devs have ever acted as such. In fact I would go so far as to say that it's just many 'forum players' thinking they are first grade players and so have the right to complain more than the average person who is happy to just trust and play.
While I was at first annoyed that Eponllyn was chosen to be glaciated only by people on the forums, I have since realised that as they didn't actually know what they were voting for it probably would have made little difference how many people voted, it was essentially just a transparent random number generator.
