Sounds like a scenario where that friction would actually be desirable. If they got far enough to file a complaint they can obviously handle it, they're just lazy complainers, which is exactly the type of user I'd rather didn't make it to the support page anyway. Like you said, their problem usually boils down to plug, charge or reset and they were just too lazy to search the knowledge base for basic troubleshooting, something that should be possible without logging in. Them getting in to re-ask an already answered question is just a waste of someone elses time and useless noise on the support forum.
