There is little to no harm in someone discovering what someone's forum password is. There is a great deal of harm in finding out someone's graal password. Having the forum password be the same as the graal password only allows one additional way to hack someone's password.

And as you already said, having the same password for multiple things is a security risk.

There are no reasons to get your graal password stolen, graal password are really random and they are really secure, we don't store them unencrypted and they are also salted.

We want to stop account sharing so it will be another good reason to not share his/her account to not have someone posting using your name...
If our Graal password is stolen, chances are we wouldn't find out until after something happens. As I replied to moony, having a password be the same for multiple things only increases risk. Plus, it can be a hassle too.

Once, just once, do a poll or something and actually give the players what they want.
