Sorry, it is not COMPLETELY optional.

People can still rep and leave comments even if you have it "turned off".

Also, the comment page DOES NOT STAY CLOSED, even if you have rep "turned off".

Having rep "turned off" ONLY means that others can't see what level rep you're at.... it does not actually turn the FUNCTION off.

Therefore, it is not completely optional.

Playing on the Forum Games threads is optional.

Leave a tool out for the trolls to use, and it will get used. duh.

Just disable the function completely, it's divisive and does not contribute to the forum community in a positive manner.

Emperor Cole is a hard man trying to do the right thing, but may have accidentally taken things a step too far, but who also happens to sleep with his granddaughter? No, that doesn't wash, for me.

Scratch that, they're meant to be abused until they go from a bad joke to an anger-inducing mental thorn in the collective conscience.

Also, as there's no combat-able version of him in the game, officially, he's also probably the longest existing signature character to not have been defeated by a player.

There is also no known Praetorian version of him, for the reason directly above.

I'm not sure where the Chuck Norris part came in, but Blue Steel has always been a bit of an enigma character, other than the fact he apparently kicks butt.

It's either that or they can't zone into the PvP zones from anywhere but their original side until they full switch over. They'd likely pass that off as being due to being trusted enough to get past the security. Or somesuch ....

If they do put major mission restrictions though, I'll probably never use the system.

Or... it could be an even more devious Disney animatronics plot.

The new graphics upgrades in GR look FABULOUS, however!

So the only real difference will be that you don't have to type in your password and hit enter. That takes less than a second unless your password consists of a mixture of numbers, letters, and other characters. You will still have to select a server unless the option is only to switch between characters on the same server.

I have never cared about the delay and having to log back in so it doesn't affect me either way. But I'm guessing that those who are eager to see this new feature will be disappointed. Either that or there won't be a 30 second countdown in which case the PvPers will start screaming about it making earning any rep impossible.
