The reason I was responding to you knowing how you conduct yourself, wasn't to change your mind it was to try and make a case to the community staff that read the posts.
I know that's what you're trying to do, and knowing how you conduct yourself, I am making a case to refute yours.The only reason not to use a real character for the forums is because you engage in shady business. Your argument about separating things doesn't hold water. The forums are for players only, thus it is perfectly reasonable for it to be connected with the game and for your active character to be used. Honestly they should just show the last character you logged in with. Then you'd only have posters here who are willing to own up to the words they type.


There are many people that post from alts on this forum right now, there are many people that refuse to post here because of forced character linking
And I think this is a good thing. Everyone who posts here with their actual characters are people who stand by their words and are willing to own them. If one is not willing to do that, then they honestly shouldn't post regardless. I firmly believe that the general standard of behavior here would be lower than it is if there was no connection with the game.

Aside from that, there are plenty of other communities that people who can't handle their already anonymous aliases being used on an official forum can post/troll in. This forum is for the benefit of SE as much as it is for anyone else, and I'm sure they expect the feedback to be better quality when they require this connection to the game. It's totally fine t hat not a lot of people post here. Jumping through the needed hoops to post here tells me that the poster is invested in their feedback and cares about it / believes in it.

Finally, a *lot* of players lurk here without ever posting. That doesn't mean they're mad about character linking, the only thing it clearly tells us is t hey like to read but don't have much to say themselves.
