Why does Square Enix do this?

You could have used the search function to find a similar thread instead of making another one.

Seriously who cares if people make another thread? It ain't hurting you.

Exactly. It's actually somewhat of a shock that people are saying you won't get in trouble for bumping old threads. Every forum I have participated in it was against the rules to bump old threads even if your reply was relevant.

Positive thread will drowned quickly by people's "need moar attention to answer my thread" type or some kind of bait thread. If you visit JP section, the thread looks more tidy than here. Yes it doesn't hurt people but it's annoying to see thread that already answered long ago asked again.
