That is ~2,300 players logged on at once. These are significantly different.

I would expect the actual number of individual players playing DUST on any given day to be orders of magnitude higher, and the actual active playerbase greater still (not everyone logs in every day).

A handful of forumites declaring a ~~strike~~ boycott is not going to make anything like a noticeable dent in these numbers.

True, but again without influence none of this will matter. Take for example the day CCP announced at Fanfest 2014 the future of DUST 514 into Project:Legion. That decision alone was only comparable to a Seismic Wave (Surface Wave) that shook throughout all of New Eden into Social Media. When key individuals left this game as well, it only seared more into their decision that you CANNOT expect a community to blindly follow you without Just. That is influence, at it's finest.

How, exactly, do you think this 'boycott' will help in any way, shape, or form? It's hardly going to be influential except to discourage devs even further from interacting with people.

I honestly have no idea what this ranting about 'Just' is? Could you clarify? Your post is somewhat incomprehensible. Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu Kaze, you are best logi. Best.
