The problem is what you might consider to be a "half-assed" job may in actuality be "no one got to go home at night" for all we know. That's the main problem I have (in general) with people always posting endless things that they want, and then calling devs lazy when all their wishes weren't fulfilled. Anyone remember KOF 12 and 13? That was some legit slave labor going on.
Now, I don't KNOW what the work schedule of the dev team is like, but I'm not sure that you do either. And therefore, sometimes it might be okay to float just a little bit of appreciation their way. You can give them a lot of appreciation if you do end up getting what you really want, though.
