In response to the thread title, I mean, no.
If you’re feeling something is off or different between the two communities, I think it’s because the vault is just on the other side of a process that players go through. It goes like this:
DDOMoboGamer1: Fuck these devs. They’re making things stupider.
DDOMoboGamer2: Yeah! I’m not going to play in protest until they recognize that this game is for the players.
At this point you have a choice. It’s a pretty straightforward one. Quit or complete the process of accepting that the devs can always and will always make it worse, they don’t play the game, and most importantly, they don’t give a fuck what you think. Oh, and they have fragile eggshell egos so no matter how tactful you think you’re being, criticism is not tolerated.
DDOVaultDweller1: Fuck these devs. They’re making the game stupider.
DDOVaultDweller2: Yeah! Fuck them. Fuck them right in the ear. Ok wanna log in and play?
DDOVaultDweller1: What the fuck kind of question is that? I’m already logged in.
Want to see someone smack in the middle of this process?
