Since I and at least Demotivator--as far as I'm aware--are against re-enabling anonymous edits, and you seemingly cannot decouple the privileges, people who wish to comment or edit simply have to create an account; it's not that much of an ordeal for those who actually care.

If there is a way to allow comments without unprotecting the content, I'm all for it.

Regardless, the problem likely isn't the protection of the wiki as much as ToG losing its readers. The Bato.to spoiler thread is a great indicator; there used to be 10+ pages with various discussions between any two releases, yet nowadays there is barely a one page worth of comments in between releases.

While one can do just that, creating an account still requires at least some effort that may deter some of those who would otherwise choose to mal-edit. It obviously doesn't work every time, but it's still better than no protection whatsoever.
