I can't post on most forums

I keep getting a message "you either not high enough level or reached your post limit"
this can't be the case. I've been playing for three weeks and I only made one post in hte general forums today.

if this is 'as intended' then this is quite ridiculous and feels rather hostile.
Surely you want your players to feel more welcomed than this ?
I'd like to talk to people about the game. don't you want me to feel involved? a part of the community?

I think this has to be a bug. please can you fix it for me?

What was your level when you were struggling to post?

the same level as currently displayed. 22

This is the most up to date info I can find on it, but might explain a few things?

Okay thank you. that does explain.

by the way... that is ridiculous. how do they expect to have an active forum this way? I guess I have to look for an alternative place to hang my hat.

I dunno, I can appreciate it. There are multiple in game avenues for new players to ask questions so it's not like it hurts them, and it prevents people from making new accounts to troll/spam the forums as easily which is nice.

I hope to see more of you around here after you level up more.
