Only the people who care enough about this game will actually go to the website or their handheld device and read the updates. It's meant for the hardcore player. The player that has invested a large chunk of their time into Destiny. Not the once in a while when I have time player. Those players are the weekend warriors. You know those players stuck with 1800 grimoire score. I can't speak for them because I don't know their case. Most players who frequent this forum will most likely have read the updates. It's not about being "smart". It's there for everyone to read. It addresses the issues that people on the forums have complained about, therefore putting it in the updates. What would you do if there were no forums? The only updates from them you'll have are the patch notes. Which are way more important than some words talking about an issue they'll address in the next game update.
