They care less about people seeing their actual account, and more about being able to say what ever they wish without anyone ever knowing who they are. Let's be real about this. It is cowardly. Period. If you have something to say, an opinion to state, or you just enjoy talking like you know everything about everything than at least have the stones to do it without hiding behind a loophole.

This is the official forum. If your going to say something in game you'll think twice about it, because it can tarnish your reputation. Seems only fair that it should be the same here.
If this were true would we not be spouting horrible things, safe behind out curtain of anonymity? Most everyone is posting nothing more horrible than anyone else, we all just simply want to be a part of the forum the devs probably check now and then.

I want to post here because I want a say in the game I pay to play, I should not be forced into linking my ingame time to whatever views I have that I post on a forum. Especially since they in all honestly have zero influence on it anyway, the point is I don't want to, and why should it be forced on me just becacuse you want it to be (for no valid reason either).

As for tarnishing reputations, we all know that the only things that tarnish reputations are ingame actions. Me calling someone a assface on a forum won't effect that, still dosen't change the fact some of us like to keep them seperate.
