In a few weeks once everyone is beyond 25 and can post, etc, the restrictions won't seem as severe. True.
However, where are people going to go in those first few weeks for answers/support/community?

I am aware that the tech sup, bug rep, and new player categories do not have post limits, so I've been focusing my attention there for the interim.
Not gonna lie though; the restrictions feel a tad harsh at the moment.
