Still you have to admit that 1 out of 10 only say positive things.

I don't think it's anywhere near that number.

Everyone I playing with have nothing but positive things to say. Out of the half dozen, I am the only one on Dakka.
That there show not everyone thinks things are that bad. Making most "Opinion Polls" invalid.
Most the people I currently play with tend to say positive things as well. Of course most the people I have played with over the years have quit because of all the negatives things, so it cuts both ways. Many of the people (most?) with negative things to say are people who don't actually play that much anymore or don't play at all anymore but are still in the hobby either in other games or still painting/modelling 40k.

But Dakkadakka is an echo-chamber, just a negative kind instead of a positive one.

Given how many people think everything is fine and are constantly insulting people who think GW have some failings; no, this is far from an echo chamber.
No, the "dakka hate train" is mislabled insightful criticism by those who don't like reading any criticism for some reason. It's been proven time and again that the vast majority of the complaints by the common posters (including myself) are rationally based and relevant to the topic at hand however much some people don't like to admit it.
True.
But lately these "insightful criticisms" have to suddenly be posted in every single thread and they are getting more in the lines of "GW sucks! Better play another game" and personal attacks towards the company and its employees.
It's happening to the point where I just ignore most threads because it are the same old complaints repeated over and over, even when they are inappropriate in the thread.

This is said a lot, but people always go quiet when asked to prove that it's not relevant to the thread. The sad fact is GW does *so much* wrong that most threads have ample room for on topic negative opinions. I eagerly await your numerous examples backing up your point.
