Current u can't use lot of UI features untill you level like 10 or so. This totally not make any sense, it takes like 5 min to level up to that, but annoing and just straight pathetic that you need to go back to the character select cause quick ingame switch doesn't works.

Same for chat, edit UI, maids, quest type filter, and who knows what other function is locked for no reason.

any hurdle is infinitely more effective than none at all.

Yes please!  I never understood the point of it, ever.

It makes it incredibly annoying to deal with new characters when they can't interact with the chat properly or have the UI set up properly. And it's even more annoying when you end up creating a character but not getting around to leveling them immediately and then need to do anything with them. You can't even do something as simple as switching to them briefly to spend their energy and then switch away again - not without the extra step of going to the character selection screen. It boggles the mind that they even bothered to put these restrictions on new characters. It took extra work on their part to make the game more annoying.
