That's kind of a weird thing to notice let alone complain about. Which characters are you talking about? Off the top of my head, I know that some like Alisae have been using contractions since the very beginning. Besides, not even counting "poetic" contractions, contractions in English have been around since Shakespeare's time and he used stuff like "she'll", "she's" and "I'm".

"You" and "thee" have been around for the same amount of time. "Thee" and "thou" are informal versions of the words "ye" and "you", while "ye" and "you" were used formally. Technically Urianger/the writers have been using it wrong this whole time. It's only considered "fancy" because those words were used in early English translations of the bible to refer to god as being approachable, and over time this has had the opposite effect since people stopped using "thee" and "thou" in normal conversation.
