Is 51 cp really an appropriate raise for 3 months...

    I feel 51 CP every 3 months is too low, 75 CP like @Stonesthrow mentioned would seem more appropriate.

    The problem with raising the CP cap too much every update is that it makes it harder to balance pve end-game content.

    If the cap is eventually raised to 800CP for example, players with 800CP still have to be challenged while doing end-game content. If content is challenging for someone with 800CP than it will be very, very hard for someone with only 200CP.

    Even with the catch-up mechanic it still takes quite a long time go from 200CP to 500CP so I understand why they dont raise the cap by a huge amount each update.

    I mean once they remove vet ranks wont mobs scale off your cp rank anyway thus making that argument invalid? Maybe I am wrong.

    My fear is people will get board, once they get to the 51 cap, and not being able to progress, will just stop playing, I know you can bank the points until the next DLC, but waiting 3 months until you can spend them will that be enough to keep you playing.
