Character deletion timer on consoles?

Is there a reason for this? I fully understand why it's a thing on PC. You can run all those scripts and I heard most MMORPGs have this problem to an extent. But on console, you can't just command your machine to farm for you, right? So why is there a deletion limit? It's so annoying. I took forever to figure out my character and now I finally know what I want and can't create it. :/

    You get 1 character deletion back per 24 hours. You also have 8 character slots, plus 3 initial deletes, in which to play around with. You mean to tell me you went through 8 characters slots and 3 deletes in one day?

    The character deletion timer is there because of bots and gold farmers, which you can have on consoles as well. It's not going to be removed.

    true story...

    I was trying to gen up a new alt one day after work, I was ssooo tired I screwed the build up at least 5 times, and had to delete and start over (my fav was I forgot to beard ;)

    I never ran into the delete cap... maybe it knew how impaired/stupid I was at that moment?

    It's supposed to be every 24 hours but it isn't, took over 48 hours to get one back for me which I just got now.

    Take away add ons and typed messaging chat from PC, they aren't special snowflakes. Also, no keybinds for PC, they can use one of 2 pre-determined key sets.
