"New accounts" Post limit

[rsparrowk]

Please take the limit off for "new accounts". Apparently if you post 3 times in a day you cannot post any more within that day(at least on General forums)... We are paying customers here and would like to give our input or just simply replies to the forums.

Thank you.

Yeah, I think it's in place that way to have fake account posted limited, but I've played games where only paying customers can post on the forums. If these account are linked they can tell who purchased the game and paying customers should have unlimited posting.

Must just be General Forums. I created my account a few hours ago.

Well another problem is I am a 1.0 CE member, I added my pre-order code to that account so there really shouldn't be an excuse.

Yea I think that is what it is...Ironically everyone uses that forum for everything.

I imagine it's an attempt to keep the forums from being so flooded as they were in 1.0. Perhaps encourage people to look around and see if a similar topic has been made before creating a topic, and to use the like button rather than making a post that says "I agree with this." Not saying I like it per se, just offering a possible explanation.

Thanks for this. Still don't think its a well thought out plan...when people figure out that you can only post so many times in one forum, they will just flood the others.

You can write about how you disagree with these restrictions http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-restrictions/ here.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of! I have been on many forums, granted not MMOs, but I have never seen a restriction on the number of post per day and time limit. What if a person is actively trying to help others solve a problem or give guidance because the devs are not available readily? I have to waste one of my 3 post to tell them to post it in one of the forums that don't have a restriction so that I can talk to them. Really? You know then, if you want to put these restriction, create a chat room or something where people can talk, yes casually. Or create a forum called Off topic like most other forums do. I don't think server congestion or storage is the reason for a game developer such as SE. They are a million dollar (probably billion dollar) industry and could easily afford the hardware, software and bandwidth. If they were a site like xda forums that is comprised of freelance developers devoting their time, then I could understand. But you are a getting money from subscriptions and sales so I don't get it. Want a cleaner forum? Hire moderators that their sole job all day is moderate the forums...like most other forums do. Don't make devs cleanup, I know I would hate to do that when I could be developing something useful.

I can see why FFXIV realm and zam will be better sites
