I agree with your point. By no means do I advocate reducing the quality of output or thought put into a game; at the same time, user feedback is an important tool to indie developers.
Ideas are cheap and pre-made assets let some feign good execution for a time. In the end, those with the technical skill, passion and good organization will provide gamers with a substantial product. At the same time, I thinks it may be important to try to swim above the waves of garbage.

I've been a modder for a long time. I'm currently working on a game with its own engine to make the game I've always envisioned. I'm a scientist during the day, but I like modding/developing as a hobby. Infectious diseases, game engines, I say bring it on.
