Significant over-estimate.
Very true. I did picked a random amount that would be impressive enough to make my point. If I simply said the truth like, "It would assuredly increase the devs' workload, I am guessing by quite a bit, but I have no direct evidence of how much work goes into any of this." I'm thinking a shorter, over-simplified version of "double the work because you double the servers" would deliver my point more forcefully and in fewer words.

You make the post sound an awful lot more entitled than it is.
Again, I over did things for the sake of making a more forceful point. My point is that this is the devs' creation and they are free to do whatever they want with it. We are just lucky that they allow us to play period. And since they have stated many, many times that they really aren't interested in boxing on any level, there really is no reason to campaign for it. The best you could hope for is to use an argument to change their minds, and since their opinions appear to be pretty set, at least on this issue, it appears to me to be a pointless endeavor.

Now, how many people would actually read that block of text vs. a single line or two? I thought that the single line or two would be a better way to go, so I went that route. I apologize for severely over-simplifying my arguments to achieve that goal.
