You really are clueless as to what it means to be an editor, cause if you would know, you would never say that the overly socializing doesn't deter away from the encyclopedic goal. It does. Why do you think the comments were disabled last time with the airing of TLoK Book 1? Because the amount of useless commenting was completely pushing down the edits made, thus making it near impossible for the editors to work and verify the edits made.

So no, it's no concern that the AW has centralized commenting onto the forums. Btw, you want to know another fun fact? Wikia created the forums with the idea that they would one day replace all comments, that on all wikis the comments would be disabled in favor of the forums. We are thus just basically doing what they envisioned to happen with the function.

Of course we have our hands in comments now and again, but if you again would verify your facts before making hasty generalizations, you would also know that most of the administrative comments are to tell people like you to calm it down and stop instigating fights lest they'd be blocked. That is time utterly wasted for editors. So no, comments will likely not come back ever, and you'll see, the traffic of the AW will not suffer in the least. So your concern is really just your concern and just affects what you did on the wiki.
