These restrictions are the stupidest thing I have ever seen on any official game forum.
I have to level my character up so I can post....?!

I can deal with the 1000 character limit, that's easily enough to work around. But when I want to post or reply to the community on something, and I get a message saying my new character isn't "high enough level" to post anything, it makes absolutely no sense.
Luckily I have a 1.0 character I can use as my "main" to allow me to post on these forums, but holy hell level restrictions on forum posts is beyond ridiculous. Especially at times like this when half the people are having trouble even logging into the game.

Time restriction between posts is also an unnecessary restriction. As if that's going to help control anything other than wasting people's time. I just want to post a couple replies then I log out of the forums. Why do I have to kill time to reply...??
