Generally the general forums can post really about most in game topics and discuss about it, and more people are going to see it because most people basically come to the general forum. It's not really a big deal.

It stagnated markets and prevents raids....well that's your opinion. Shame, but yeah, people are going to post in general whatever is "hot" in game. That's just how it's always been on any mmo general forum! You don't have to read the threads.

I also think it's a breath of fresh air, usually the general only has one or two semi-interesting topics a day.
