There is already a Patch Notes link on the Patcher, it's located at the top right hand corner.
Yes, and it's tiny. How many people do you think click it? I can name one player I know for sure didn't.
Quite a few other games I've played automatically show you the patch notes while the patch is downloading. It's a kind of "And while you're waiting for that, here: read this" gesture that at least partially cuts down on threads like this one.
I work on the assumptions that a better-informed playerbase is a better playerbase, and that the previous is doubly true for beta testers. I know, I know; horses, water, etc.--but it would help SOME at least.
