I have a suspicion they arent going anywhere. Think about the sheer overhaul to content/gear they would have to do. My bet is they eventually say "we meant getting rid of vet points, not vet ranks." which they've done.
Because it would be a waste of valuable development resources that would be better spent removing the VR levels once and for all.
How's that for an answer.
Why do you feel you need to grind to V14? If you don't want to, don't.
Even if they do actually still plan to do something about vet ranks, I'm not sure I would assume that the "removal" of vet ranks will be done by just scaling everything down to level 50 (gear, items, etc.). They could just change vet ranks to "levels 50-63" and call them "removed!"...
Also, given that the removal of Vet ranks was something on their list from back before the whole B2P fiasco, I would not be surprised if the whole Vet Rank Removal plan has been dropped entirely.
Unless they can come up with a way to monetize Vet Rank removal on the crown store, I wouldn't expect it to occur anytime soon, if ever.

But that's the OP question. If they aren't removing vet ranks why do we have champion levels and why is the vet level exp so high

This should be a one-line change in the code somewhere. If this takes more than a few man-hours, then the way they programmed it is insane.

Some are assuming much about his they plan to remove the vet ranks. They have not been clear about that. As of just a couple months ago they were clear they had not decided yet. We could become lvl 64, for example. Somehow they need to work in the skill points and and attribute points earned after lvl 50 if they crush us down in that manner. Much to decide before even thinking of programming.

They could literally announce it every 30 seconds in game and people would still make these threads.
OP could have avoided making this thread by googling "Champion System" and reading any one of the numerous articles talking about how the Champion System is one of many phases to remove the Veteran System.

If you have access to some sort of Zenimax master plan for veteran rank removal, I'd definitely like to see that, so please link to it.
Otherwise, I'd say I do a good job following Zenimax, and they've been pretty tight-lipped in this regard, except to say that they are in fact doing away with the vet rank system at some point in time.
Anyways, it is irrelevant to my point that reducing the current XP required to gain a vet rank now, would have absolutely no bearing on changes that would be made in the future, and would in fact, please a lot of the playerbase, considering that even Zenimax has admitted that the veteran grind was a mistake.

If this were true, we would already have spellcrafting. They continually delay (ie: cancel and just stall the playerbase with a clear answer) things they say are coming. These kinds of threads need to be spammed in the thread to hopefully wake them up. We all want new content, more choices, less grind. We don't want recolored senche tigers and guar.

It isn't ZoS directly, but it's a reputable site that I'm sure uses ZoS as their source. Again, stop making these threads and doing a simple google search and you'd see that all of this has been covered for months now.

So you linked to a third-party website post from back in February that describes the current functionality of the Champion System.
I am talking about the future, here, such as the phases you mentioned.
Elder Scrolls Online’s plan to roll out the Champion System in update 1.6 introduce a new type of advancement system. This is part two of their phasing out the Veteran Ranks and moving to a new type of account advancement where your progression is tied to your overall account. Keep in mind, this guide is written during testing and will change as content moves forward. I will do my best to update it whenever possible.

The current "end game goal" is VR14. Post removal of the veteran system, you will still do the same thing you do now once you hit level 50, but the "end game goal" will change to acquiring CP.
Find me a source that says they are actively working on releasing Spellcrafting at a specific time. There isn't one. Spellcrafting has only ever showed up on road maps, which are more of a "we'd like to do this" list, and not a "we're currently working on this" list.

Do the slightest amount of research at the least before making claims, plz.

So...Champion Rank 3600 gear instead of VR14 sets?
In The Elder Scrolls Online, Veteran Levels, commonly called Veteran Ranks or "VR", are the levels reached after reaching level 50.[1] The system is not going to be in place forever and will soon be replaced by a new system called the Champion System, which is rolling out in 4 phases, and 2 phases are already implemented.
