I don't like it when people clearly haven't bothered to even try to look for a solution before asking a question. It's very obvious because people who have put at least some effort into it are generally very specific in their requests, whereas someone who hasn't bothered exploring the editor or looking for tutorials or other forum posts on the subject is much more likely to make an extremely vague query (e.g. "How can I spawn units for a TD?")
When it's clear that someone has put some effort into the problem and is genuinely stumped that's when I'll go out of my way to help them out.
When NOBODY will answer my questions on how to spawn units on my OMFGJAWSOMEST TD EVAR! I've asked like a trillion times and no one responds... THEN my threads get baleeted or locked! I even tried ALL CAPS QUESTIONS to get my point across! But my threads get OMFGWTFPWNED!!!111!!1

When someone asks his questions in the tutorial forum
In general:
When people try to discuss something, everyone has bad arguments, everyone thinks his arguments are better, they start flaming each other. Fine and civilized discussion turns into hate war.
when people make 1 huge paragraph for their question with 5 lines of useless information that i have to read through at the start. ;[ save that crap for the end at least
I'm annoyed when I read someone stating that Blizzard is intentionally screwing things up to maximize their profits.. (popularity sort for example)
I mean, where's the logic in that?
Yeah, this gets me too. It's one thing if you can at least present some sort of logical chain to support your conclusion (for example: no LAN because they want to increase profits by stopping piracy makes plenty of sense), but a lot of times you get people saying things like "OMG popularity sort sucks, Bobby Kotick is behind this I'm sure of it!"
The reason people sit there and complain about Blizzard screwing their games is simply because they water down their games and make them as simple as possible to appeal to a broader audience, which pisses off veterans, and allows scrubs to overrun our games. Such in WoW's case, I was able to hit end game in a little more than a month. It was not very fun to me, whereas, roughly 4 years ago, WoW was so much more fun and enjoyable to play because the game -wasn't- overrun with scrubs, gold spammers, and multi-boxers. And it was harder. And the only reason they allow multi-boxing is because it brings them more cash, while on the other side it ruins game experience when you're getting face rolled by 5 Shamans all critting for half your hp, per spell.
As for Starcraft 2, look what they're doing to their game. They're supposedly charging full price for each expansion pack which really is only worth buying for the Campaign. I mean, sure, you have a few new units, but it's not like they're going to overhaul the game engine, and remake every single unit from scratch. Especially since they use their own editor to make their game, cutscenes and all. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it's..meh. Oh, and can't forget the 60 dollars blizzard wants for SC2 when they've cashed in well over 200 million gross profit since WoW's release, and for each subsequent release after. And they crank out xpacs for WoW that just break more things, and take away the cool things that were added in the previous release.
tl;dr If you're too lazy to read this, then go do my achievement.
The issue is people can QQ over this all day, but money talks louder than words. You want to talk money? Asian countries can play for free, for now. Blizzard is getting them all hooked on their e-crack before the 2 month "trial" period is over and they have to start paying to play online.

Ahahahaha, so true.

When people complain about stuff that is free! And they don't even have to involve themselves with it!
