Too long, didn't read it.

To be honest, I read up to the part where you said: How short does something have to be to sufficiently pique your interest to read it?
Then i just skipped to the bold. Now I'm reading the whole thing 'cause I have to reply to it.
I, like most people, suffer from laziness. :D
I did not see ANY connections whatsoever with classes and WoW affecting your attention span.
Ooh, look at me, I'm a rogue, I kill things fast so I don't like to read text that goes on forever.
That doesn't even make sense. I kill things slow (for people my kill speed could be fast, just my opinion), I just don't feel like reading walls of text. For all I care, if you wrote 1500 words on how to kite as a hunter in just plain ol' text, no quotes, bullets, links, etc. etc etc., I would see everything as "Kiting as a hunter, you have to blah blah blah blah blah x1488". How your post is displayed plays a big part for the person reading it.
Age would probably play a factor in this, kids/teenagers would give up on reading long paragraphs faster than an adult, but there's also the personality key, a kid might love reading whereas an adult hates it.
But that's enough from me, for all I know this makes no sense to you at all, but that's just how my mind works. :)

Over the last few months, I've read through the forums here most days, and I'm astonished at how often I see a comment that is along the lines of
"Too long, didn't read it".
I read to here and got bored.
Whatever happened to attention grabbing opening lines?
And im serious about reading only those first couple lines.

Personally, I'm more likely to read green text than white.
