OK ZOS, now let's cut XP needed per CP to 1/4th

Problem: One freaking CP needs 400k XP and you get 400k englightenment per day, but there is no way for a casual to earn that much. I am not going to grind mobs 1-2 hours every day unless ZOS pays me for it. If I can't earn 2 - 4 CP per hour playing normal, then I will just quit the game. Like I've quit it 10 months ago after my first character hit VR1. I thought ZOS would've learned by now...

Solution: Reduce the requirement for CP to 100k XP and increase XP rewards from daily quests. Give the people different options how to achieve their CP with the daily enlightenment bonus. There are easy ways to do it by linking XP rewards to daily quests e.g.:

  • Completing undaunted dailies should net enough XP for 2 - 4 CP
  • Completing daily trial quests should net enough XP for 2 - 4 CP
  • Completing daily PvP quests should net enough XP for 2 - 4 CP
  • Completing 2 - 4 high level crafting writs should net enough XP for 1 - 2 CP
  • Completing daily legendermain (to be implemented) should net enough XP for 1 - 2 CP
  • And people who want to grind mobs, can still grind mobs for 2 - 4 CP per hour
  • Not sure what other possibilities ESO can easily offer at the moment...
(Remember that only the first 4 CP would be with the enlightenment bonus, so doing all the daily quests above on the same day would not give ~20CP but more like 6 - 8 CP)

This stuff can be implemented easily. A casual should be able to make 4 CP a day with stuff he actually enjoys. People who invest more time will always have superior stats, so ZOS please save your time looking for mob grinding spots to nerf and just encourage different styles of playing instead. You are not giving us any alternatives.

I have two hours a day and with a system like above I would average 5 - 6 CP per day (including burning up the 400k englightenment per day). Cash shop items could boost that up to 8 - 12 CP per day and I would be fine with it (live and let live guys). ZOS falsely assumes that they have to keep CP gain extremely low so people will sub for a longer time. But I think right now people will just quit because they can't see any progress or any future to reach a decent amount of CP. This exactly my concern right now. The CP system got released and I have not earned 1 single CP so far, while people grinding mobs are in the two hundres already.

Seriously ZOS. Pull yourself together...
