halp me learn how to remove the community market restrictions
so. i wanna buy some skin sets in dota2, i want to buy and use them immediately. however it says i can't buy skins cause i have to buy a game for 5 dollars or more, then after that i have to wait a whole 30 days to be able to purchase skins for dota2 heros.

can't i just remove that 30 day restriction from buying a skin in dota2? why must i buy something else then wait 30 days to buy what i really wanna buy? i really need to know if i can buy a skin in dota2 to remove the restriction? i have not found any skins in dota2 that are not in the community market, they all seem to be in community market, where can i buy for example a set for a hero in dota2 without using the community market? i am not going to use a 3rd party site, i wanna know if valve has skins for sale directly or is everything through community market?

if lets say they did sell skins directly without community market, could i buy skins there to remove the 30 days restriction fromm community market? or does it MUST be a game i buy unrelated?

You are a limited user so you must add your currency equivalent of $5+ or buy a game of this monetary value or more and then wait a full 30 days to access the market. All users are required to have a valid purchase on record every 365 days to remain eligible for the market and all users must have committed at least $5 to become unlimited. You must meet both these requirements.

You can add 5$ to your steam wallet and then go buy directly from Dota 2 store http://www.dota2.com/store.
If you want to use the market, you have no choice to wait for 30 days.

did you even read my post, u told everything i knew already. i was asking if buying a skin in dota2 would remove the restriction, also i was wondering if there is way to buy skin without using the community market, it seems as though i can't buy a skin on that game unless i buy something else first, which i wanted to buy a skin on that game to remove the restriction. is it even possible?

Yes, as the message says...

Make a purchase and wait 30 days. A skin being bought in Dota2 is a purchase. As long as you spend money on Steam using your account, it will meet the requirement. It is a "purchase".

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1047-edfm-2932#purchase

No Purchase Older Than 30 Days

Your account must have a successful purchase older than 30 days, but not older than a year in order to access the Community Market. The purchase of wallet funds, games, DLCs and software meet this requirement. Activating a Steam Wallet Code or Gift Card on your account to add funds to your Steam Wallet also meet this requirement. Retail CD key activation and gift purchases do not satisfy this requirement.

EDIT..But limited users cannot use the market at all, so buy something on Steam for $5 USD or more and that meets BOTH of these restrictions. Then, wait 30 days.

Your account is still showing as limited.......
