While true, it's disingenuous to act like that solves anything. Player populations, when it comes to rates, have a small slice who demands low rates, an equally small slice who demands high rates, and a huge mass of people who will play and have fun on either, caring more about other aspects of a server, such as progressing through old content for the first time ever, and just going with the flow. Even if "people could just turn x1," that mass of players who don't particularly care would be dragged by the x7 to keep with the pace of the server.
