OFF TOPIC DISCUSSION

[Archadius]

This will never happen because if SE implements an "off topic" section, then they will also have to moderate it. This takes from the purpose of this forum, which is explicitly to discuss the game. SE brought this forum online for only 3 purposes; for players to find information about the game, for players to discuss changes to the game (feedback), and for SE to communicate with the players. Off-Topic doesn't fall in any of those categories, so you're SOL I'm afraid. There are just too many cons to this idea and not enough pros (in SE's eyes).

I disagree 100%. I see way more pros than cons in this situation and even stated some in the original post. Only con I see is having to moderate the forums but that time would be made up by them not having to delete so many threads they can simply move them to the off topic section assuming they don't go against the user agreement that would be stickied in the off topic thread.

Also it is not about if they will do it or not, it is a suggestion that more people would be for and if the need or want is there enough perhaps they will answer our call on this subject.
