Veteran Ranks

Why were they removing veteran ranks again? Can this be reconsidered? With all of the new content I would venture to guess 'grinding' is not even necessary anymore. (esp. when orisinium arrives). The progression through silver and gold seems appropriate and fun if you like that sort of thing.

Again, why waste resources and time to REMOVE content from the game?

If anything, just reduce the XP required to achieve a vet rank.

    800K per vet rank, used to be a million each.

    They've already reduced the exp....and capped CP's
    This is all apart of the phase out of VR with adding maybe 2 more VR levels before they are gone

    800K per vet rank, used to be a million each.

    It used to be a lot more than that. Before the CP system was added it was about 5M to get from V11 to V12 (V12 being max at the time).

    I think this whole discussion about removing VR levels is lame. If Vet levels are eliminated what are the options? Does VR16 become level 66? Or shall we eliminate all levels above 50? Then people will complain about having nothing to work toward.

    I hope they leave it alone. ZOS may just tweak this game into an early grave trying to make everyone happy.

    About "having nothing to work toward", every single mmo isnt actually about lvling, its about getting gear, get good at hard raids/get more gear or get good at pvp, get pvp gear(except for in eso pve and pvp gear is the same for some reason? Thus I vote yes for removing the veteran ranks.

    I wish they would remove the cp aswell. Just have old fashioned "You can only reach x level, only have x amount of skill points, spend it wisely."

    And then raise that with 10 lvls at some major update etc, like in WoW.

    Aw, you are so cute when you are optimistic. If the removal actually happens though, you will just have a new system almost exactly the same.
