Look, I'm not going to say that an off-topic forum is by itself a bad idea, but it would generate far too much work for something that's clearly not needed at all. Anyone who wants to discuss off-topic stuff with FFXIV players can go to any fansite.

Believe, it's much easier to delete off-topic threads in the general discussion forum then making a whole new area needing moderation.
Not really. They reduce the number of violations they have to deal with to just harassment. It's the same principal behind the decriminalization of certain substances.
