    Doesn't this just make it worse?

    Maybe for players who are too lazy to earn the veteran ranks or champion points.

    With an increase to V16 and no new content, this sounds like a push to sell more xp scrolls on the crown store.

    VR16 is coming with next major update (September?), not tomorrow or something. So there should be content to go with VR16.

    They said the are going to release many new sets with the coming expansion, so the old gear will become obsolete anyway, new VR's or not.

    Seriously though I'm new to ESO being on Console and all, but I'm VR1 and don't see much issue. I wasn't there for the great 12 month content drought many talk about but you weathered through that so honestly how is 2 VR all that bad?

    Because they lied again

    Veteran levels were meant to be taken out and the champion system was meant to take over this is just going to keep widening a gap.

    Eric Wrobel told that today on ESO-Live just a few minutes ago.

    Funny enough mods were closing down VR15 threads the other day saying that there were no plans to increase Vet levels.

    Hopefully new regions won't require us to complete Craglorn. At the point in giving up trying to solo it (because no one wants to group there...).

    I don't understand Eric Wrobel when he talked. What was the exactly reason for VR 16? Can somebody who understands Eric better explain that to me again?

    @Chufu How I understood it - it was that due to itemization being so tightly knit with VR ranks - in order to add better gear to the game - they had to add VR ranks.

    To OP.. remember... they are adding 2 veteran ranks - and at the same time are increasing Caldwell questing XP by 50%, doubling xp from public dungeons, raising xp in Crag (quests and mobs) by 20% and making VR take 15% LESS xp.

    I don't mind.. just darn happy I found out when I had 10% left to go until VR14.. now I know even if I get my "dream" gear to hold off and not make it legendary yet lol.

    Of all the things that bother me (mostly "everything for a limited time" crown store whale milking), this probably bothers me the least.

    Please answer me, what the hell difference does it make if you are veteran level 16, or level 75?

    You have to get new gear either way. This is true with expansion level cap raising in ANY game. The numbers are purely cosmetic; it literally means NOTHING whether it is level 75 or Veteran 16 or Taco 43. It is a meaningless designation of rank.

    People obsessed over the removal of veteran ranks have yet to give me a single decent argument as to why.

    The best I can think of is that they want cross-faction zones where you can flag as PVP and each faction has its own UNIQUE quest hubs, instead of the Cadwell Time Warp, and I would like this too. I just don't think ZOS wants to invest the money in that sort of overhaul.

    Not when people are willing to throw money at mount skins to "support the company." Where is the incentive to EARN out loyalty?

    Wait, Taco43?

    It's more the point that the last thing we heard from ZOS a few months back was that they were planning on literally phasing out the VR. Now we hear they are increasing the VR cap. Just another lie. Another betrayal...

    Been here since day 1 and multiple VR14 characters. The whines are coming from those who don't want to grind out the ranks and champion points. They want to be on an even playing field as soon as they install the game.

    2014:
    level 50.......Endgame

    2015:
    level 50......................Endgame

    2016:
    level 50...........................................Endgame

    The two different level formats are just silly. Every new additional Veteran Rank just makes levels 1-50 more and more pointless. Might as well start calling the 1-50 content *Starter Zones* At least then new players would know what they are signing up for.

    IMO, new levels make no sense will no new content. The reason you have new levels is to explore new area's/cities, different mobs etc. Not same old same old.

    so far its 2 mln xp points. And all the quests and mobs give you xp of lvl 50

    If you like that kind of games its good for you. I dont. They say now they will reduce this and rise that, eh we will see.
