We don't do it for ourselves, we do it for humanity.
Thing is.. the other side of a conflict tend to believe the same thing. Tough world huh.
Anyway, your main point is that you are a part of a large clan of gamers, so you're claiming a reasonable sample. Problem is that without time played, save game file size etc, its not a reliable statistic.
I'm assuming marines have less time to play than you're average teenager who like to post here with vitriol.
It was the implied entitlement that being a marine makes your opinion more valid which rubbed people the wrong way, I'm sure thats not what you meant. But enough derailing the topic.
Of course they are going to say occasional, rare etc... this is all fluff that is completely unrelated. Fact is, a patch has been applied, which does not fix the issue, but improves things. This is bad news. It implies the problem is not fixable.
As for waiting for an in-game month, does that solve it permanently, or until the file size increases? We'll have to wait and see..
