Another Dev Bites the dust.

It comes down to their warped sense of entitlement. They know it's free, they know you're spending your spare time to do something with little to no reward... and yet they still think you owe them something and will criticise you for it.

On the opposite side, you have the idiots who think that because the thing is free, that any sort of critical feedback is ungrateful and rude... if you can't handle criticism, then avoid being in a position to receive it.

People should probably have a bit more respect for the devs than they do now. In fact people should probably just get along better than they already do. I know it's the internet and people should have thick skin and all, but what if you alienate the wrong person? What if someone had alienated savok and he never made those updated UI's? What if someone had alienated the guy who made the helm fix for humans and half elves? You can say, "well you gotta be able to deal with assholes, it's part of the job, blah blah", and even if that's true in some abstract way, there's still bad consequences if someone can't take the stress anymore and leaves, and the project loses another brilliant contributor.
