I think we could seriously benefit from having a separate General Discussion forum that requires linking a character with at least one class over 40 (maybe even higher) to post. While there are argumentative people with rank 40+ classes, it's much more productive than arguing with people who aren't playing the game or can't relate to many aspects.

By no means am I saying that the opinions of lower-ranked players are not important. I am not asking to take away their voice or restrict any existing forum in anyway. I only suggest that some sort of "advanced discussion" forum be provided to allow people the option to hold conversations with more active players who can better relate to the issues and to each other. I also understand that some people feel more comfortable with the mask of anonymity that linking a mule account provides. Again, every other forum would still be available to people so inclined.

Thank you for your consideration.
Normally, I think I'd be wary of something like this as it tends to promote narcissistic elitism, BUT...

This is a good point.
