I'm aware that these are to prevent spamming but the "Please slow down" restrictions in chat are such that it becomes difficult to converse without.... considerable.... confusing.... delays. Also, does this forum have a search feature? I don't want to repost on an existing topic but don't have all day to search hundreds of pages of posts.
I totally agree, as the amount of conversations that get confusing because of the time delay is unbelievable
VIP+ can bypass the protection, it may be annoying, but it helped reducing the spam, by bots or players, drastically.
