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.
Kind of completely stepped over the point. The dev team's situation is a little different than yours. Your relationship with the people you serve is on a very ambiguous level. Yoshi himself frequents these forums on a very regular basis. There's a big difference between the two situations. He has a direct line of communication with the people he's working for as he's working for them.

There is no "That damn Square Enix is scamming us for our money" it's "Yoshi's scamming us for our money." What they do is on a much more personal level with the consumer than what you do.

The point I'm trying to make is, I don't agree that we have to be supportive of them in a vocal way (though it does help b/c of how they can directly see what we're saying), but we should at least have some form of manners when we request / complain about something. You don't need a thank you to do your job, but "This seems a little buggy, could you change this" is a long shot better than "No surprised you @#$%ed this up again. This should be like [...]"
