This whole forum rank system is really frustrating. I can't make a long thought out topic because I have a maximum of 1000 words. So if I have a topic I'm passionate about and type 5K+ words, I need to break it up into five or more different post in one topic.

It's clear that some people get more words, I've seen longer post then 1K by higher rank members... why do this? I can understand limiting someone who's made 0 post before to prevent spam bots, but it's frustrating to think that only someone who spends half their time on the forums POSTING (not just reading) knows anything about the game
