How do you explain this? General MMO games forums.

[potis]

So, there i was checking how Rift F2P is doing and i visit the forums.

First thing that catches my attention:

General forums :OMG CANT LOG ON WHAT IS THIS, F TRION x 10 posts in similar manner.

Tech Support forums: Failed to connect to server, what! Fix please been 3 hours now!

And big letters at the top of Announcements, Sticky in General Forums, saying "Maintenance".

Then i remembered, hey i saw this trend before..

Yes i have seen this before on every single MMO forum the last few years, on every type of game, RPG/ARPG/RTS, hell even MMOFPS when it went F2P or just got released.

Why is it so hard for people to read the word "Maintenance" at News?

And i am not talking about 1-2 people, literally hundreds posting that "Cant log on" until someone with a clue posts "Guys its maintenance time..".

I understand some people play a certain game for the first time but why is it there seem to be masses of dumb asses that cant even read the news page about Maintenance on every single game, i mean..You would expect that they would know by now?
