CP farming is not the main problem of PvP

I like CP unlimited, but don't mind if there is a cap. Those with low cp should remember that the clue to PvP is to find a good raid guild, or a TS channel like War Council, and run with others in a disciplined group, until your CP is high enough to win duels and beat gankers. A weak player will experience epic battles if he or she just stack at crown and follow orders. In Wabba and Necrotic Lag, which are the major guilds in EU EP, we have players with both high and low CP. Nobody asks about your CP.

If you stack at crown, follow orders and learn to play in a team, then it doesn't matter that you only have 80 CP, because you will contribute more than a 500 CP player who is not a good team player.

The main problem of PvP now is that we are bogged down in a gear grind in IC, players are spread all over on different campaigns, and the traditional problem continues now as always: leading a raid of 16 -24 undisciplined players is as frustrating as herding cats.

Now some will argue that "I don't want to play in a large group, I want to win duels and enjoy small group skirmishes". That's okay, but in that case you will still be killed in this game unless you are really talented. Training, talent and choosing the right gear, class and race in order to win duels are more important than CP, except in cases where the CP gap is very large. But then treat the overpowered player as a boss in PvE: admit defeat and return to fight another day, when you have more CP. Two CP a day is over 700 in a year, that is steady and reasonable progress in a MMO.

    I again think its so fun we are spread everywhere, most of us have played Cyrodil 1+ year, this is sooo refreshing. Btw, you cant just force people to join voice chat group, PC already proved this point, theres players who prefer to play with and without voice chat. Also dont think new players "stack" to the crown a year or so, so catch-up system is needed. Also I think gear-grind is great as long its minor one.

    Mentioned above that stacking has always been a challenge.

    IC can be a great rush in the districts if two good guilds are fighting between monsters. But after 3 weeks of IC I hear many complaints from old-time PvP players that they hate the IC grind.

    We need a real PvP dlc.

    IC is mainly a magnet for PvE players who like PvP lite.

    People complain about IC-grind, just buy the materials from auction houses like I did.

    I sold 248k ap for gold to buy gear, but now ap is worthless. Many players don't have a million bucks to get new legendary gear.

    Ugh... that just sounds like another job.
    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.

    Not a job. Earned 250k ap on a good day. In Necrotic Lag one can earn 80k ap in an hour if the map is good. Stacking at crown is in your own self-interest if you want ap.

    The easiest solution is to have 1 amateur vet campaign for those under 200 cp. And two pro vet campaigns. Then we can fight 24/7 - - and enjoy the lag...

    ESO should also bring back the former emp buff. We want rewards!

    The first rule of games: content, content, rewards
