Please Get Rid of Post Limitations

... For established users. This is absolutely ridiculous. As you can see from my start date, I've been around since before the actual beginning (1.0 CB). I can post maybe five times a day. Get rid of it, please!

THIS
/10char

And please remove the 1000 character limit per post.
It is hardly possible to give proper in depth feedback with such a limit. I constantly run into it the very moment I start to give a specific example or try to explain what a certain suggestion is supposed to accomplish.

Detailed descriptions should be encouraged as they make it easier to comprehend the effects on the overall game.
Reader also need at least a little bit of syntax to understand what something is supposed to mean.
It also greatly inhibits player to address related issues in one post and therefore make a cohesive connection. For example if you want to suggest a solution for FATES you need to touch on Trials as well as on Dungeons and Leves. This is hardly possible in one 1000 character post. At least not in a comprehensible manner.

This simple suggestion with 1 example and 3 reasons serves as demonstration as it is almost 1000 character long.
Now try that with a complex matter like the in game economy.

I don't like the limit, and when I tried to post a new thread today, I was given a message that my level was either not high enough or I reached my posting limit for the day. Since I haven't posted in a while, I'm sure sure what "level" I need to be able to post new threads......odd

This change came for a reason, nothing you say is going to change this.

Right right... I wonder what else about FFXIV never was changed due to people speaking up about it. Right?

And BS, there is no legitimate reason for this.

The higher the level of the character you choose to log in with here, the more post allowances per day you get. So choose your highest level character for forum view/login to get the max available to you.

If I want to post feeback or bugs, I want to have the possibility to do this without "posts per day limitations" I was quite active in 1.0 and beta forums, it still seems that the account itself looks newer

For the 1000 sign limitation .... I dont know how to feel about it. If I need to post more, like this I will have to make 2 seperate posts, which might get confusing when someone answers in between.

If someone is spamming, he still can get limited, and no thats no hard work, thats just a click in the admin panel if set up right

I also don't see the point of the 1k character limit. Is SE really trying to budget their data usage/storage space that desperately?

You know that if you post with less than 1000 chars, you can then go back and edit you post and make it longer than 1000 chars

That's good to know, but the ~5 post a day nonsense still needs to go :D

Continuing my crusade...

Here's the official posting limitations: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...2%29?p=1015217

If you get to 50, you can do 20 posts a day. If you want to post something more than 1000 characters, you can bypass the limitation by editing your post. Getting to level 50 takes as little as 20 hours but is more likely to take around 80 hours your first time if you aren't rushing. It isn't hard or even really time consuming to get to 50 and with 20 posts a day and no real character limitation, I don't see the problem.

As has been said these posting limitations were for a reason - in the later stages of the Beta test the Beta forums degenerated into constant flamewars/trolling (not just by new members but by existing members who should have known better).

So SE suddenly added posting restrictions around Phase 3 to try and restore some sense of order and decency to the Beta forum, and just kept the restrictions intact for the Lodestone following the game's official launch (in fact, the restrictions on the Beta forum were far stricter - you could only make a post once every 10 minutes).

As xRitzx mentioned, the 1000 character per post limit is easily worked around through editing your post, and it's not too hard to get to level 50.
