I think the appreciation needs to extend a little out from Stefan, as he gets it all the time. There are people working in the background, like the Playerworld Administration (I know Bell works her ass off a lot, I barely talk to her these days) who get nothing in return for the work they do. A lot of the global staff make a lot of effort to get the game working as smoothly as possible, and ideally it'd go that way, but such is life.
I'm not going to kiss some French peaches, because there's more in the works then just that and they all deserve appreciation really. Well, maybe not
alllll
