I can answer why..
This is the internet generation...they get what they want through games easily compared to other aspects in life. I mean, who on earth would play a game where it took 5 years to get something eh?!
They feel that they deserve, need or want more than others to get in first to get their names/game time etc etc.
I mean I can't contain my own excitement for when I get to play this game, but I can contain my dissapointment for not getting in.
Others can't.
Reading these forums is fun, but I see a lot of people posting who I really, really hope not to come across a lot in this game.
