My argument is that people aren't being led to the water in the first place. The drinking is their responsibility, yes.
Look at this way. CM makes a fairly important post about a mechanic change that will affect a lot of people. That post is bumped for a couple days, and then dies down as normal forum traffic pushes it to the bottom of the pile. Now, you would say that Blizzard has done their job. They posted some info about a change. But where is that change recorded? When Joe-New-Guy or Joe-Not-Enough-Time-To-Troll-Forums looks in his instruction manual, or at the official website, where is that information updated to reflect those changes?
Maybe I'm making an argument that not many will agree with I guess. But I think its incorrect to say that "what you dont' know can't hurt you." I think every player wants to do well in the game, feel 'powerful' as a character, and probably be regarded as competent by the people he interacts with. I feel that a pretty big void of information is what those players are missing to do so.
