Okay, then tell me how many CP I have.
I've "grinded" them. Tell me, what is the number?
Did I say anything about you? Did I quote you? And what do I care what you have. I play the game, I have 10v1ed a few v14 with a bunch of CPs and got whipped plenty of times to see the advantage CPs gives a player first hand. I've seen what a Zerg of v14s can do to another Zerg. And I forgot your the dude the is a level 40 that just wrecks v14s on ur reg. you have enough to have CPs on your level 40 character, that should have 0

I'm saying it's not the dividing line between victory and defeat. Knowing what you need to be doing, or at least how to cope with another living player is far more valuable than an extra 5% damage.

In an edge case, where you have no overkill whatsoever, and you're down to a sliver of health? Sure. How often does that actually happen in Cyrodiil? Almost never.
If both players have experience with PvP, and have a competent PvP build, then you can make an argument that CP is relevant in that specific context.
If one player is using a PvE build they imported, and has no experience dealing with the living? Then they're going to die. It doesn't matter if they have 30 CP or 3000. They will die.

CP is convinient excuse. As long as there is going to be anything else than player itself to blame, the player will blame it.
But the issue here is two experienced players having competent PVP builds but one of them has more CP than the other and so the one with the CP wins because he has an advantage.
What do you mean almost never? That people are almost never on a sliver of health? Not sure what your logic is here, but people in PVP die all the time, and 5% extra damage does make a difference.

So,the only fix I see is to unlock CP at level 10 (where PvP gets unlocked for all characters).

Well that's literally your opinion and you're entitled to it, but in my opinion any advantage (no matter how big or small) over another player because you mindlessly grinded something for days is pretty trivial. CP has no place in a PVP situation, for PVE fair enough.

Newbie and veteran pvp campaign?
Sorry i have hard time seeing those two things in same sentence. In a normal world anyone new someone, going to "veteran" class league or competition should expect to be whacked and mauled by people there.

Hahaha,True.But in imperial city its going to be more difficult since a V1 will be slaughtered but V14 while killing a boss or mobs with great diifculty to collect those orbs only to find that it is taken away by an enemy player.

New players pwned vets before CP.
Interesting...

So, it's got nothing to do with the fact that they had a better grasp of the game systems, or an intuitive understanding of how the game works. Or a decent awareness of what was happening.
Right. It's the minor passive bonuses that give less of a benefit than upgrading your gear one color grade that makes them unbeatable.
Also, how dare I play your game. I mean, I got to vet on a couple characters. I shouldn't be allowed to go into a vet campaign with my non-vet character, and challenge players with more CP than me. Clearly I should be sitting in a corner with you crying about how "I'm terrible at the game because I can't instantly be 'teh bestest evah'" just by showing up.
You're in competition with live players.
You understand that, right?
You want to deal with other players, you need to actually be on par with them in skill. Saying it's their CP that made the difference is just another way of pretending they didn't have more practice at this than you.

And I believe I am. Who's to say you're a better than me just because I acknowledge the huge boosts CPs give you. Yeah you're just super awesome because you say CPs don't matter, and I must suck because I say they do. We ALL KNOW THEY DO, it isn't a secret. If they difnt matter people wouldn't grind for them. If they didn't matter a v1 could 1v10 a bunch of level 45s, BUT THE CANT. You can ONLY 1v10 because a skilled players is loaded with champion points, band when he hits you, it feels like truck, and when you hit him it's with pillows. Champion points give you a huge boost, it isnt anything but being honest when pointing that out. And yes with enough CPs your level 40 can do work, because he is already loaded with resources, add enough CPs on top of that and you can do work. It isn't because you are just so good. And yes you shouldn't be able to use CPs on other characters, because that character hasn't, using the word you guys love using, "earned" any of them. Why not get their attribute points and skill points too?

Agree. None of these people want to admit their CPs give them an advantage. Many also do not seem to be able to comprehend that some folks will take a long time to get to the magical 300-350 CP mark because they don't play the game to grind CPs.

No, I'm just not delusional about how powerful those CP actually are. Earn some, then come back and tell me how godlike it made you.

Since you think cps does not make a difference why don't you post a video of a duel in which you prove you can take on a player you don't know with 300 cps?
Shouldn't be too hard to do since they do not matter that much

Tell you what. You want an experiment? Grab a minion, and go into the wayrest sewers, grind yourself to 300 CP, then go back into Cyrodiil, and get wrecked again by that same mob of 6 experienced PvPers.

Can you just say that CP gives you an advantage over other players in PVP ? Can you just acknowledge that fact please?
