Oh god I remember those days. I recall once I thanked a mage for the water they conjured for me and a hunter said something like "why are you thanking him for just doing his job?". This was in my early days of mmos and I was quite surprised that he was offended that I thanked someone for something. I played a mage for a while and my gaming rig wasn't great at the time so my load times were a bit long. I once loaded into a dungeon and the healer was saying "mage where is my water? why haven't you traded me yet?". My load times were a bit longer than most players, but not THAT long. I miss some things about WoW...but definitely not stuff like that. Not that FFXIV is perfect! There are certainly some things that happen here that I didn't deal with much in WoW, but that's another topic altogether.

And no I don't look down on people who do everything in silence, but I certainly don't resonate with the sort of attitude in which you should never give appreciation to someone doing something good for the group.
