There are almost 5,000 posts in this forum. I'm willing to bet that almost half of them could have been answered by reading the 2 sticky posts.
I post random question, you post read the sticky dumb-***, he posts an answer, I post calling you an elitist, she posts her armory to show she's better than everyone, you post calling both of us idiots, he posts complaining about the thread, she posts complaining about the person complaining about the thread, you post quoting everything in the thread to prove your right, he posts quoting everything in the thread proving your wrong, I post randomly spouting crap as I've forgotten what the original question was, she posts answering a question no one asked, he posts smart-*** comment. Thread ends
Half the threads in this, or any, forum follow that basic outline. If you want a simple ask, answer, and end thread most the answers would just be a link to the sticky or some other easily attainable resource, patch notes in this case. It would be a boring damn forum, each topic having only 3 posts all with links back to the stickies.
The best threads on this forum are when 2 of the people go at it, keeps the forums alive and those posts are usually more informative than the sticky as they often have 2 or more people theorycrafting on how to play the class best. I've learned alot more about the warlock and Warcraft in general from reading topics where people clash, taking in both sides and seeing what they eventually agree on.
The thing to take from this messy topic, it's helpful to read the patch notes.
