A phrase alone will not change people's behavior. However, this does give a fast, effective way to communicate to goodie grabbers that they might need to change their approach.
My guess is that some of these players are doing this deliberately, and don't care how many people go sad in the process. Asking them to "save the treasures" won't change their behavior.
However, I also think that there are some players who are blissfully ignorant that they are doing something wrong. Asking them politely to "save the treasures" might make them see the light. Just having that phrase in the lexicon makes a point in and of itself, by making people stop and think about why that phrase might be there in the first place.
Without "please save the treasures", we are left with "Let's use toonup" (doesn't address treasure-gobbling per se) or general cries of frustration like "you stink" or "please go away" (which lets the toon know that he is in the wrong but doesn't explain the problem and doesn't exactly solve anything either!).
We'll see whether Disney listens....
