    I do like the though of 50% or even 100% XP bonus to skip the stupid alt leveling, but this bonus should not be taken into account when calculating CP.

    CP Potions: Against because p2w.

    I'm personally ok with some lower pots, as they help you level, especially when it's your so much'd alt or if you have less time and want to catch up with friends. Just not for champion points. MHO.

    First - I'm not keen on the concept of having to use real world money for performance enhancing potions. I don't care if it is technically P2W or not, I just dislike the idea and it seems like just another of those ploys for money... which, of course, it is.

    However if they are going to do it, which they are, then they might as well go the whole way and either sell 'Enlightenment Potions' which simply give you a CP's worth of additional enlightenment or simply sell CP Potions.

    Selling a 50% potion will simply annoy half the people without being that appealing to those who would pay for it anyway... if they are going this route they might as well just go for it...

    People cry too much about P2W.

    The truth is there is exactly one player ahead of all the others and exactly one player behind all the others. Most of us will never reach the first. The last will never reach most of us. Buying XP potions is like transferring time from your day job to your game. You work more irl to play less ingame, which is fine if that's how you roll.

    Just keep in mind that a missed block, a wrong dodge-roll or a mistimed skill can erase the advantage of hundreds of CP.

    This, why can't people get this?

    Too many people stuck in their selfish little worlds trying to stay ahead of each other by 1 millimeter.

    Oh the irony... Isn't this exactly what P2W is about? Being stuck in a selfish world, trying to stay ahead of each other by 1 millimeter. By cheating, I might add :smile:

    Have fun playing the game (and having it survive) with the 5 other people, when majority leave due to P2W.

    I believe most of us are interested in having a quality game, not seeing who's got the fattest wallet & enough time to grind CPs.

    So as it stands, it seems as though half of the voters want XP boosters implemented in some way (including the "Other" category of those that spoke their voice). 18-20 Percent don't care, and 26% are actually against the idea.

    It seems as though it's only a small portion of the community that doesn't actually want these potions to happen (So far!).

    If you weren't campaigning for the boost to be 25%, the results would make more sense.

    50% as in the data mined pic going around is just fine.

    Nothing I would ever use 1-50 since it's hard not to outlevel content by >5 levels with just the +10% from subbing, but for the vet and CP XP grind, it'll be very handy.

    I am curious to know how many of those who do not want the CP potions in the game are players who do not wish to sub, thus no crowns for them, or do not wish to by crowns at all. Therefore they cannot get the cp potions, which in turn makes it "unfair" for them.

    I sub. I will stay subbed. I get extra crowns because of my loyalty. Thus my loyalty will pay extra dividends in the game. One such dividend may or may not be xp booster potions that are optional for me to buy.

    If there were crafted potions that gave stronger XP bonus than Crown Shop potions, I'd actually be fine with that also.

    It'd be good for in game economy as well, since competitive players would have to buy the better kind of potions, while others save gold & buy the Crown Shop ones with $$$, thus saving money & having more purchasing power in the market.

    I dont see what the problem is with people getting something special for spending money; of course it should affect Cps otherwise what value is there in it? Its the CPs that matter since more CPs equal faster leveling through more power. I agree that there should be a cooldown like 12 or 24 hours and no stacking of potions. I'd even be on board with a side effect like a hit to regen or something like that. I just dont understand the negativity towards people wanting to spend money and get something better for it. If you are opposed to spending money to get ahead then dont associate with those players and if you cant tell which ones are doing it then it must not actually be a big deal.

    The more in the store, the merrier cause there's nothing sadder than a store with little - nothing to offer. I'm not interested in most of whats in the store but I do like things to actually look through, choices if you will even if I'm not interested in them

    There is nothing here of interest to any nations; as a matter of fact, there is nothing here but people.

    This is coming and there is nothing anyone can do or say about it, ZOS would be sacrificing a MASSIVE amount of money to NOT implement these.

    And how would lvling to VR 14 with exp pots be ok but lvling CP's be p2w? Lvling CP's is NO dif than lvling Ranks, both simply allow you to reach CAP faster! We will all eventually be there EITHER WAY! Not everyone has 14 hours per day they can dedicate to a game. Time IS and always will be MONEY.

    Make it 50% or better and have it apply to champion points, because that's where the real convenience is located. Allow it to stack with the ring of mara and subscriber bonus as well since we've already paid for the ring and are continuing to pay for the subscriber buffs. Nothing to do about the divide, it already exists on account of those who took advantage of enlightenment and xp bugs when CP released. Always going to be a divide with the influx of new players. Always going to be those players who play as though Tamriel Unlimited is there primary profession continuing to widen the gap. Playing primarily pve I would want my friends to gain CP faster so they become stronger allowing us to do content faster and with greater ease.

    If you come across someone in pvp who is incredibly tough take advice from a load screen tip "Fleeing is a perfectly valid tactic if you wander into a tough situation. Find or craft better gear, use skill points, or level up a bit more, then come back to fight another day." Problem solved.

    I'm afraid you are quite wrong on several fronts.

    First, why accept the premise that they will release no new content. Content should drive revenue!

    Secondly, if you played in the PTS with few CP against people with thousands of CP then you know that the difference is so great that playing is literally pointless.

    The difference between zero CP and 1000 CP is far greater than the difference between lvl50 and V14 ever was.

    With the introduction of the Champion System, Zenimax's number 1 priority must be limiting the degree of separation between the players or nobody will play this game. Count on it.

    Boy, that has a nice ring to it. But it's false.

    Anyone who played the PTS with zero CP against players with 1000+ CP knows that it's the equivalent of going against a town guard.

    This is absurd. It's like saying the emperor bonuses don't really matter because if the emperor sucks he won't make the best use of the bonuses. DERP.

    Cyrodiil, already a disgrace is going to be an outright joke if these apply to CP.

    I want the xp potion to be implemented in the crown store, BUT i think that it should be unlocked by getting achivement for hitting VR14 on one character, it should be 50% xp for 3 days and it should stack with Ring of mara this would be somewhat of a RAF thing where you lvl with a friend to hit max lvl fast

    25% for 2 hours is not something i would pay for it would literally force me to play 2 hours straight without going to take a *** it should work more like xp boost from lol, hots and dota.

    If they are inplemented just so ppl can reach endgame faster, then they shoul be obtainable both by crafting/gold and via crown store.. However the influence on CP gain would effect endgame so the people investing in them would be mich more powerful, so CP gain should be excluded. I prefer if there were no xp potions but if ZOS really wants them, crafted should be at least as powerfull as crown ones.
