Why ZOS Should CONVERT Veteran Ranks to Regular Levels.

VR16 = Level 66

Done and done.

IF ZOS was to add levels in place of VR levels, this wouldn't preserve what exists.

I don't think many realize that other than gear and food, nothing else goes past level 50. Nothing needs to be added to preserve what exists....whats needed is to remove the level requirements of all VR items and drop those requirements to level 50.

Basically all skills, weapons, armor, racial, etc would have require those additional levels be added as well. Then you'd need new abilities, skills, etc.

All considering, the best approach right now regarding removing VR levels is to use the existing base of level 50.
The gear and food would still keep their values as they enhance stats and do not require levels other than restrictions to use an item.

The simple approach is level 50.
If they choose to add new levels across the board in the future....so be it, but doing so right now would require all things to be reworked as mentioned above as well as all zones, encounters, trials since Craglorn.
