I think some guy on reddit summed this up better that I could:

"The magic about this game was that it's a beautiful world for you to explore and grow in. If I had to come to town to hear people spam for trades and set up a raid it would totally kill it any semblence of the vast world of Nirn (Tamriel specifically) and turn it into a hub for every 13yr/old to spam epithets. I can already see little yellow text calling redguards "n*****s" and telling my Altmer that I "suk dicks, thalmore fag."
