A bit no to that. If a player does not want to use CP they already have an option to not assign points.

Yes, they could. I am playing a character that is not using CP to boost combat or survival. It is not easy to avoid using advantages that are at the hand.

How would you address the issue of some players getting built up in power to the point of over-powering the game content?

Whatever the solution to easy overland will be, making CP not account wide is not it. No one is going to slow level 12 toons before they can truly join harder content. I big draw of ESO is that a player can create multiply toons to their specification/background story/whatever drives a player to create yet another toon. If I had to slow level all my 13(?) toons to where I'm right know 2.8k + CP, I would simply have never done that and quit the game a long time ago.

I think I do not understand the need to create extra characters only to speed level. If this is, indeed, a thing players do, Let us purchase raw character levels in the crown store. Then there would be no need to disrupt those playing in overland (opposed to those that are just speed-leveling through it.) Is that something you could agree with? A scroll of instant level 50 for your new character? To balance that, perhaps offer a character reset scroll that would return a character to point zero as if newly created. (I like this idea as I do delete and create characters to have a fresh play through experience.)

No. Enough of stuff is sold in Crown Store already. No need to give level 50 for real money. Besides, people create alts for various reasons, but I doubt "speed leveling" is one of those reasons.

Also, I think that making CP non account wide will not solve your issue with high level players coming and one shotting whatever you are fighting. People would make less alts and stick to one toon only and level only it. So, you still will be seeing 2k + players next to you.

What if instead of selling it in the crown store, it is sold for gold at the specialty markets in game?

I am not saying the speed leveling is a reason to create an alt. I am saying that the reason there is speed leveling is BECAUSE people create new characters and want them to be at the same level is their old characters.

Leveling to 50 is not difficult with all the events and double XP scrolls. No need to sell it for any currency.

I do not understand what this "speed leveling" you are talking about has to do with your issue of high level players interfering with your kills. One toon with 2K+ CP or many alts with same 2K+ CP does not affect your issue. A player can play only one character at a time, so you are going to see 2K+ CP next to you all the same.

Perhaps you do not understand because you are not familiar with the term. I didn't create the term, so allow me to define it as I understand it. Speed runs done for the experience. Usually one CP2k+ player dragging lower level characters through delve, public dungeons, and Dark Anchors. How it regards interference with standard play is that the high level player kills everything quickly. Agroing everything in the dungeon or in the quest area to kill with AOE at once. This leaves the quest field or dungeon empty of foes. One must wait 5 minutes for bosses to spawn again. By that time, in dungeons, the group has rotated back. Anything I am fighting is one-hit. Boss is one-hit. Dark Anchors last only a few seconds. If it were possible to purchase a 50-level scroll, there would be no need to farm experience in the overland standard play areas with an over-powered leading a group.

I ask these folks why they do this. Their response is 'speed leveling' alts so they can play more challenging content sooner. A level scroll would eliminate the need to being in lower level areas as they would have instant leveling.

ESO lists them up in your menu as "Core Abilities"

If you go in your menu to character (click C) you see on your right, below your main stats, a button "advanced stats". Click on that and you see in the middle of your screen the list.

Core Abilities:
Bash Cost
Block Cost
Break Free Cost
Dodge Roll Cost
Sneak Cost
Sprint Cost
Bash Damage
Block Mitigation
Block Move Speed
Sneak Speed
Sprint Speed

and fyi:
Besides Unholy Knowledge reducing non-Core Abilities, the star "Survival Instinct" in the red tree can reduce the cost of Core Abilities up to 25% (when afflicted by a Status Effect).

EDIT typo

Two things whilst in Gray Host last night.

Whilst in a keep that was under attack, the amount of EPs just standing around doing nothing was ridiculous. It was then I was told that other alliances, if they are not actively taking part in the game, would login to Gray Host with their EP characters and fill the keeps with useless AFKers just to fill up the cap for EP, Some even have second accounts just for this purpose. Does anyone know if this is true? It certainly looked that way.

Second thing, some person put a forward camp over the well near Aelswell Castle, so if you used it, you were stuck, you could not move and if under attack couldn't even use a recall stone. We couldn't take much damage, so we couldn't die to respawn. The only way to get out would be kill the game. Some DC took pity on us and managed to kill us with a CF ballista. I put a message in zone chat asking not to put forward camps over wells and got a reply XD from someone, so I assume they did it. This cannot be done accidentally.

Are EP so feared that other alliances have to resort to these tactics?

I recently updated my system from Windows 10 to Windows 11. ESO used to work fine before, no problems. Now its just stuttering, freezing and even crashing. Sometimes it freezes my pc for a moment. ESO usually recovers after a freeze but most of the time it just crashes to desktop. Every other program and game works just fine. I even did another Windows 11 installation, this time it was clean install but nothing changed. I have tried different Nvidia drivers and updated everything i can. I tried low and ultra graphics settings and playing without any addons but issues just remain. Game is currently pretty much unplayable for me. I have a decent pc, that used to be more than enough for ESO. And still should be! So specs are not an issue. CPU i7 9700k, GPU RTX 3080, RAM 16GB.

I may be wrong, and please correct me if I am, but I think they're not considered furnishing until they are actually attuned and so cannot be placed in the furniture vault. (I've not actually tested if they can even after that point and can't do so right now).

I have some some attuned crafting stations from before and they can go in the vault once they have been attuned to a set.

I would appear that either my earlier phrasing was unintentionally very misleading, or I'm running into some sort of significant cultural difference. Just goes to show the dangers of plain text on the worldwide internet I suppose.

To my mind there is a meaningful difference between "you should not do that" (negative, judgemental, policing), and "are you sure you want to do that?" (positive, friendly, supporting). The latter was my intent, but evidently this did not come across sufficiently clearly.

Apologies to teisoshin for causing a distraction in his thread. I shall refer my original post to the mods.
