Guys just to clarify, ZOS won't be removing Veteran Ranks in Update 6. There will still be V14, but Champion Points and the new alternate advancement menu will now be in place. The Veteran System and the Champion System will coexist for a short while until Veteran Ranks are removed in Phase 4 next year, the level cap changed to 50 and gear seasons being introduced.

So, I'm kind a now to mmo's and I have no idea what gear seasons are. Can somebody explain it to me?

They did not yet reveal a lot about this, but the basic idea is that the higher the season of a gear is the better is the item. Future updates will bring a new season of gear and make the old ones more readily available. You might want to compare it to levels but it's not exactly the same.

If your good you get the best gear if you suck you gotta wait til the next patch to get the same gear the good players already had. You get hand me downs basically.

IMHO, Crafting items should remain better then drop items. How this will work for season gear?

They said the best gear will be crafted as in using crafting to UPGRADE dropped gear from purple to legendary. So as long as the season gear never drops as legendary and still requires a crafter to upgrade it. Crafted gear is still the best even tho a crafter never made the item, they just upgraded it.

End game items all have the same stats, it is the set bonuses that make all the difference and crafted sets will always be less the dropped sets. (or there would be no point in doing end game instances)
