We already have an on screen date/time it is just game world, not real world, what harm would there be allowing you to choose which time you wish to show?
    If you're so out of touch with time that you need a clock constantly staring you in the fast, that's a problem YOU need to fix, not something the game should be forced to accommodate for.

    While I agree that it wouldn't be a huge issue to add it to the interface, the same can be said of many other things. As I enjoy the very clean UI the game currently has, I'd rather it not be cluttered up by something that I consider superfluous. If it can be toggled off, it's less of an issue, but as I said before, I think a good compromise is just to put it on the menu screen.

    You cannot tell me you have never participated in an activity and lost track of time before. It happens so often, to so many people, that we have a common saying "Time Flies when you are having fun." An on screen clock helps to curb this phenomenon.

    That is not a good compromise as it removes the most important aspect of the on screen clock, and that is to be always visible. Unless I am crafting, I rarely ever open that menu, so tucking it away in there doesn't help any more than /clock does.

    The UI is already cluttered with a bunch of (what I would consider) unnecessary items, and if you had read my posts in their entirety, you would have seen that I suggested, multiple times, to have it as a toggle where the existing on screen game date/time could be optionally switched to real world date/time, which I think would be the ideal compromise (except for those few who want both on screen!).
