as for alts, why do they not have their own pool and also just earn them from lvl1 onward?

Would help (to a certain extent) new players catch up and prevent 'twinked' alts causing chaos in BWB

Was there a reason to require a vet character to earn them? and to make them account wide?

The CP horse has bolted already but I was just wunderin'

    Sigh...

    "Champion Points"

    Lowbies are not champions. They havent beaten the main story. The idea behind granting them to lowbie alts of Vets is because they have already done the content. This will allow them to level alts quicker.

    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    Yawn..

    Would seem more appropriate to just to have provided an XP boost if that was the reason.

    Instead they created a system which creates significant disparity between old and new players and now have to invent some kind of cunning catch up system.

    they're not going to do it for non vet characters. Why? CP progression is meant to replace veteran ranks (still waiting for it to be removed), but now that it's here and we see a power gap, the BETTER question is how do they deal with the gap (they're already hinting at season-gating maximum CPs) - how this is implemented, we will just have to see or other potential solutions they might bring.

    Also put this into the bigger context: non vet exp is around 2.3million roughly from 1 to 50, that's 5 CP (doesn't even get to 6)..... Does it really make a difference if you have those 5 now or once you reach veteran ranks?

    This is more reason FOR allowing players to earn pre-vet CP than to continue to disallow it.

    I would like if low level characters could earn them, but bear in mind you earn a significantly less amount of experience while on a low level alt. This means that your champion earnings would really not be very impressive on new characters anyway.

    I agree either let alts get them up from level one or let people start a vet character in their own faction starting

    Yeah, leveling an alt 3-50 feels like your wasting time by not earning cp.

    If you already have a vet level character then yeah leveling 3-50 should net you cp points.

    Shouldn't have allowed CP in non-vet in the first place. Worst case will be new players not daring to set a foot in there and bwb being reduced to a twink fest of uber powered chars.

    Because it takes 5 YEARS to max out your CP with normal play, and nobody with alts wants to spend the next 40 years leveling their alts!

    A better question, why not be able to start out with a maxed character? Same result. Sigh...

    Pay no mind. It's the same tired strawman, but it does serve the purpose of showing both ZOS and other players what the mentality of the people who support the current CP system looks like. I welcome every embarrassing and cringe worthy post like it, as each one gets us closer to seeing the change we need. :)
