Daily post limit, beware! XD

That makes no sense. Restricting post count doesn't make people prioritize happy thoughts.

It does seem rather odd that there is a post limit lol, but I guess since they are tangled up with early access it kind of makes sense. You wouldnt want them taking more time getting the forums back up and running and slowing the game progression down.

I'm guessing it's to prevent news from disappearing and a flood of new threads with questions easily found via searching. It's launching this week, going to be a LOT of activity here. They have to enforce some sort of restriction or it'll be impossible to find useful information and all we need to do is look at gamefaqs for their floods of threads with the same question...

I can understand limiting daily posts to deal with trolls and keep the clutter to a minimum but to limit based on in game level is just silly.

I agree. I've been wanting to post on these forums for a while and to get hit with the limit is pretty lame. Maybe it'll change in the future after everything is settled after launch.

I don't think it silly... you have 10x more newbe/trolls posting usless crap at lower lvs then high lv endgamers..... Don't for get a good 75% of the ppl that will be playing are all 1.0 come backs with high lv's..

I believe this is to avoid RMT from spamming by making an account and spamming the forums as level 1. Since sometimes RMT are bold enough to spam official forums over and over with level 1 accounts.

It doesn't make people have happy thoughts, but it does cut down on the number of threads that were getting posted every second such as...

-Why I think ARR will fail/succeed
-Grass
-Immersion
-Make FFXIV F2P
-Bring back 1.0
-Where's my FFXI 2.0
-I haven't gotten my early access code/ My code's screwed up.
-Battle system
-Gear Swap

...and the list goes on and on and on.

Seriously, before the restrictions were put in place, every time there was an issue, new dev post, news, video, etc. there's at least 10 new topics being posted about it every 5 minutes. It was seriously just that bad and if people really can't control themselves, like they proved thus far they can't, the devs have to do something to keep the forums manageable.

Wow...this is a...really stupid setup. I mean...wow man.

Just cuz I'm level 50 in the game doesn't mean my posts will be any less stupid.

My first post, just testing =D
