level 30 and can't post in forums

[Ogulbuk]

Firstly, why is there even a level limit to begin with?

Given the nature of this game, I think we are lucky you don't have to do a 3 hour long multi-fetch quest to unlock forum posting "mechanics."

I could understand limiting forum activity for trial account users, but if you've paid for the game license, that should entitle you to a little basic freedom of speech.

As much as I agree that it is annoying and frustrating, please keep in mind it has nothing to do with "freedom of speech." That term is only about governments shutting people up, freedom of speech has nothing to do with private entities limiting their private communication channels.

But yea, you still get a little basic freedom to post in "Technical Support," "Bug Reports," "New Player Help" and "Community Events" boards.

As much as I hate this system, I kind of can see the point of it. Too many people tend to engage on meaningless vitriol because posting is free and all they waste is their time. Setting a limit actually seems to make people hold back a bit, either because they rather not waste their post count on meaningless flame fests, or because they simply ran out of posts in one. Only thing I would change is increase how many posts lower level players can write.

This made me lol. It's funny because it's true. The questing in this game is a bit over the top, which wouldn't be a problem if it was avoidable, but you simply MUST do the story line to be able to play the game. Not a fan of that, quests should be optional, in the same way that pvp, dungeons, grinding, or crafting is optional.
