Meanwhile the other 99% of the players are in the game happily playing and spending money.
Then they claim because of three posts on the forums everyone is behind them and everyone hates the CP system. Ive never ran into a single person in the game complaining. When I get beat I think to myself "I need to learn to play better so I come back and kick this guy's butt!". Not scream nerf people who play so I can come in after a week and dominate in pvp.

In fact, there are several threads from new players on console asking for the non-vet campaign to be freed of champion points. I think that qualifies as new players complaining about cp's.

First off those complaints are about people coming into a brand new launched game with VR14 and bunch of champ points starting day one. That is a valid complaint. It has absolutely nothing to do with what we are talking about tho. Our game isnt brand newly launched and CP has been live on the servers since March.
Also there are not "several". There are I believe two. With good reason because the devs dont like people making 1000s of threads on the same topic. If you look at the views and response count its really a very very minor issue compared to the other issues. Once the console game has been out as long as the PC it will be a non issue.

Yet again only presumption , presumption and presumtion any post from this guy is all presumption nothing valid . Not a single valid argue. plz move on or get some real fact and numbers to proove yourself that CP is healthy for the game.
Every fact and number says its not healthy for the game in the years to come.

There no point in conversing with you. You are derailing this thread and not really adding anything. You said there are NO new players in the game complaining about Cp's. Now you admit to being fully aware of them. You are not helping this debate very much.

They arent complaining about the CP system. They are complaining that with a brand new game there are already vr14s running around geared up with CP. Its not a complaint about the system itself. I know I was involved with those threads. The PC is totally different. So again you cannot find anyone actually complaining about what you say. Only they wish people with CP werent allowed in the NON VET campaigns. Only because the game is brand new and those players dont have any CP to spend. The PC game is NOT brand new.

Mate, I already stated I don't want the cps to go. So why don't you get all up in sometimes else's grill?
All I want is campaigns where people of similar levels can have a fairly evenly matched fight. That's what I have said in previous posts. That would take away the concerns people have with the cp system. How about offering some solutions instead of suggesting casual players should not play ESO? I'm pretty sure Zos would prefer they stayed.
Back on track.... Does anyone have any good reason there can't be scaled campaigns based on cp's?

Man, you've gotten to the point of strawmanning an entire group of people under one argument.
Are you this desperate to protect your grinding?
I dont know what you mean by "grinding". If you mean sitting around mindlessly killing mobs ya I do that sometimes for fun. Ive done every quest in the game. I have I believe less than 25 achievements to complete. I have done all the vet dungeon achievements. Really the only ones I havent done are fishing. I probably wont ever do those.
What that has to do with CP gains etc I have no idea. If you mean people get more XP from grinding mobs thats just how it is.
And that's just how it shouldn't be. Of course you seem to have no problem with that considering you do grind "for fun". But the fact that you get more XP from grinding than anything else under equal time is one of the main problems of the CP system (or XP system if you wish), which I already explained previously.
How it shouldnt be according to who? Who made you the person who gets to dictate what everyone else can do?
Uh, the majority of people?
The majority of people do not like to grind. They even hate grinding.
Instead they prefer to quest and PvP over grinding.
So why should ZOS incentivize and give grinding more XP when everyone except you and a couple other dudes who don't have a job don't prefer grinding?
How do you know what the majority of people want? You only speak for yourself.
Lmao if you don't think most people hate grinding or at least prefer questing/PvP over grinding, you're blatantly lying and trying to be a weasel.
You again do not speak for anyone but yourself. I know a LOT of people who enjoy a little mindless farming. You cannot possibly know what the majority like unless you have talked to everyone who plays the game. Since you havent your claims are baseless and uninformed.
Still trying to stick to your argument that people like grinding as much as questing/PvP? Hahaha
Also, you don't need to talk to EVERYONE. Learn probability and statistics. Not even governments and scientists look after EVERY subject in a given area.
Most people don't like grinding. Face it, you're shamelessely lying right now. If we went with your lie that people like grinding as much as questing/PvP, tell me why everyone isn't grinding since grinding rewards more XP?
Why do you see more people questing and doing PvP instead of grinding?
Are grinders hiding in secret caves? Is that it?
I'd like to see what you come up with next rofl
If you look around there are a ton of spots people grind out mobs in. Its not a secret cave but it is a delve and also vet dungeons. For landscape Im sure if you look around you will find the spots. Not hard to miss because there are a ton of people there grinding mobs. Far more than I see trying to do vet dungeons, quests or anything like that. Craglorn is a good example of my point.
Noone in craglorn does the quests. They are long, tedious and unless you are on the same phase you cant help anyone else. Meanwhile you can level up rather quickly using the mobs. Even with the XP nerfs its still a viable alternative to questing.
You didn't really answer the question. You said some people grind, and they like it.
I specifically asked why there are more questers/PvPers than grinders.
I specifically told you that you have no idea how many people quest as opposed to grinding out levels. Here is just one place you go there and look for yourself.
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/163197/grind-700-750k-exp-h-cracked-wood-cave-with-math
Note it IS a cave. It was kind of secret too. Not anymore tho lol.
You played this game for so many hours, and you don't know roughly if questers/PvPers make up a larger portion of the playerbase than grinders, AND you don't know (or refuse to acknowledge) if people prefer to quest/PvP over grind?
Lol, it's funny that you dodge all of these questions with petty non-answers, saying "oh but I've met many people who said they like to grind" which doesn't mean they don't prefer questing/PvPing over grinding, and "oh but I've seen many people grind" which also doesn't answer the question as to whether you see there are more questers/PvPers.
I guess we're not going to get anywhere so long as you refuse to use common sense and continue the lie that people like to grind just as much as PvP and questing (lol). Very shameless.
Look I know you think you know everything. You dont. You havent spoken to everyone. You just assume things. Meanwhile I show you factual information. Go on you tube and search for VR XP gring locations ESO. There are 100s of videos. So dont tell me what the majority of people like because you again have no clue. Ive been playing this game since before it was released. One of the biggest complaints is being forced to do the silver and gold quests to level up. If everyone loves questing so much why would they even debate removing vet ranks?
So ya obviously you dont have any clue what anyone but yourself likes. That or are just too blind to see beyond your nose.
How do those videos prove that people consider grinding > questing/pvp?
You're delusional if you think the majority, casuals, prefer grinding.
Also you don't need every person to determine anything. You need a sizeable amount of diverse people and with that you use that as a rough estimate for the whole population. That's how statistics works. Every person is not needed.
Unlike you I never chose to speak for everyone. I never said anything about it. Meanwhile you assume to speak for the majority.

Look at the big picture of Champion points. Not only what it does to you. Champion points are great. The only thing they should consider is to make them per character and not give the same ones to all chars on your account.
Also,
Champion points effects are good, but just because someone have a lot of points doesn't mean they are majorly overpowered. It still comes down to how well you play. Look at the CPs effects. They help but anyone can get much better effects from gear and global skills.
Example: Block.
10 CPs gives...5% better block? You can get 20% and more, very easy from global skills and gear set effects.

Anothers one of those guys who havent took time to read the whole tread and see how CP is breaking the combat mechanics and will be bad for new player income in the year to come.
This is a RPG , if u cap the pg progression is no more an RPG ,if there is no reward in play is no more RPG
So cp vet lv u need to fix them not delete them
AnRPG without progression become an FPS where everybody is at the same level and it counts only how skilled u are with a mouse
So for the people that want to remive progression in a RPG they have to understand that this is not the solution , the solution is fix them , make them works
Of course, if it's too simple to max out, you might ask why even have a progression system after max level.
Frankly I have no idea. ESO's whole character system is borked imo. Most MMOs are fine with having a max level, at which point you can optimize your gear, etc. But gear is so abundant in ESO that you optimized it way before you hit max level. The whole system is on its head, so they try to prolong leveling first with the veteran system and now the champion system, but miss the point entirely.

That would be true for other MMOs but ESO is ESO. ESOs model is just that, you develop all the time and can choose whatever fits your game style. No one can have the best in everything. That's great! It's up to you! Why is that wrong?
ZoS explained both before the ESO launch and after that there should not be anything "the best gear". There is very good high end gear, yes. But crafted sets are still good enough even for the hardest encounters.
Info about ESO sais everywhere that you can choose your own way. Nothing is wrong or right. You decide. Update 6 and the character develop design have really done that. If someone likes it or not is a complete different thing then a broken system.
Also, ESO doesn't start at Level 50 and Vet rank 14. It starts at level 1. Most MMOs where you can copy a guide for best gear/class etc, they start on max level. The players skills in the game is far more powerful then having a well geared character. Isn't that a good thing?
There is several mmos with no "fair for everyone" pvp style.
( Lineage 2 for exemple.. ).
In eso, it's a war, it's not a competitive pvp area like an arena.
Maybe we will see arena coming in the futur with no cp point. But cyrodill is more a map for "war" and "fun".
In a large group like we see in cyro the power of only one personne with a lot of cps is less impressive.
And without that, the champion system will not stay at this current stats.
