It clutters the forum with unnecessary and redundant threads, though it's not as bad if it happens on General Discussion as opposed to, say, Support. It's one thing if it's the same question every once in a while and the answer is few and far between. It's something entirely different when it's the same question near daily, especially if there's identical topics on the very first page of the forum.
Support is particularly bad with people frequently asking how do they fix selecting the wrong realm: IsVV2. A quick search yields over 130 matches of posts containing the fix to selecting the wrong realm to play on, not to mention the fix is posted in several sticky threads, and yet people still create topics about it. They push older topics with legitimate problems (Ban inquiries, WoW errors, bugs, etc.) off the first page and delay help to those who need it.
