I'm both a programmer and an IT. I have lots of face time with the people I work for, so I get to see both the thank you's and the complaints. I got to tell you it's a hell of a lot easier to want to put forth more of an effort for someone who's supportive of you than someone who insults your work.

I don't by any means think that everyone should be throwing a parade for the work they are doing on this game. Nor do I think you should be required to make a thank you thread or even respond in one to show your support. I do think however the way that some players post their "constructive criticisms" is just plain rude and over the line.
well, since i do help provide power and gas i think anyone i see i help provide those services to.

what i am getting at is i don't go around saying i'm not going to work as hard because people don't say thank you. my paycheck and the way i provide for my family is why i work hard. i need no other boosts to make me do my job. all i ever hear is negative stuff stated about those "evil gas companies", but do you think that stops me from going in and doing work for them?

i'm just saying i don't think a thank you is required to say to make someone a good person. where i live you say thank you for someone completing something. it may be nothing more than saying thank you when they open the door for you, but you say it after they do that. i look at it and say once 2.0 comes out and is a success they will have earned my thank you because then they will have completed their project.
