Shouldn't forums be private? How come it's made so everyone can see?

I feel like only buddy subscribers should be able to go through the forums. There's so much attention pointed here from social sites like reddit and everyone can see the forum's content

The forums are better open so people can see what they get before they buy it. Plus the more people that bot the sooner we ruin this game and the sooner they will have to fix it. Great game but the early hackers created such a huge polarity in wealth. Imagine having that questing bot rush you 30-50-100 characters through the quests to get your large farm and a house placed in the first 24 hours. From that moment on they had control of the APEX market.The consumer wants to see that they can buy AB and in minutes get the next house that goes live(or atleast compete).

Closed forums like where the Regrade Hack is floating around and the select few who have been using it since day 1 are the real problems.
Open forums = transparency
