My spouse plays FFXIV but doesn't read the forums, except for things like Camie Tsukino's posts that I send her links to. At dinner out tonight, we were discussing glamours, and I mentioned a cash shop item.
My spouse, out of nowhere, said "I should really take a look through Mog Station. I'd like to buy something from it to thank the developers."
I just smiled.

Then we tipped the waitress $10 in cash on a $45 total bill, because she'd been very pleasant and professional and we'd enjoyed our dinner.

I doubt many of the haters here would have done that. The haters would maybe have thought there was too much ice in the drinks, or that the meal couldn't possibly have cost $45 to make, and used that as an excuse to not tip at all. That's their way.

You should be happy that you aren't like the haters, AlaineIV.
I think you understand that:
I’m sorry but saying people who have valid criticisms against a game are people who wouldn’t tip is both a straw man and just immature

We aren’t haters we just have standards
