all the quote id added, in long quote chains will easily max out the character limit. which seems like a sloppy detail to overlook.
How often do you really get to that max character limit though?
Often enough. Usually when replying to multiple post. Or longer post when I reply to parts at a time. I wouldnt say everyday. But still. Also, what helps me not reach my character limit is being able to highlight only a part to copy. Replying to Wolfe or PO, for example, would mean quote a wall or text when you may only want to ask about one thing. And that could cause you to reach the limit faster, requiring more than one post. Which becomes a hassle if you send out multiple messages in less than a minute.

Often enough that adding an extra 100-odd characters to every single quote will get annoying, especially where it's usually posts with several quotes in them that run the risk of hitting 4096.
thank you guys, it's possible, @AllstarSniper32, it's better they plan ahead, ok?
Case in point, quoting this entire post - which really doesn't have all that much written content in it - comes up as 1925 characters in Word. Throw in the weird quirk of GameFAQs character counts where line breaks count as 5 characters, and you're looking at half the character limit gone just like that. Most of the time, it won't be an issue, but it's still going to be an issue much more often now than when quote tags had ~20 characters total. It's just not good design.
