Er, yes, because only 10 people (ok, fine, 11) have complained. Nice strawman.

As for reviews, it's already been posted how reviewers tend to be 10hr players. That is, play the game for 10 hours, and then post their review. That may work for FPS with no depth. It doesn't work for a game like RTW. Let's face it, the graphics are a big step up in the "flash" department since MTW. The sheer "differentness" of it means that things look new and cool. It isn't until you've played it for awhile, and seen how bad some of the areas are that you get an understanding of what the issues of the game are.

As for the sales, I hope they are making the bean-counters happy. Lots of sales doesn't translate into a good game. It translates into good marketing. It doesn't mean that the game doesn't have serious issues. And it doesn't mean that the programmers of the game should be satisfied.

If you feel that RTW is a good/great game as it stands now, that's fine. But your somewhat poor attempts to write off the people who don't as "you and 10 other people", or "a couple dozen people who are an extreme minority" is both unsupportable and silly. You are making the exact same mistake you are accusing others of making.
