I have heard alarming reports that gear cap will be increased to cp180 in the near future; as soon as update 13. This is extremely troubling considering the massive overhaul of sets this current patch and the endless grind to acquire these nearly 50 new sets- not to mention the gold sink required to do so. I hope that what I have heard is inaccurate, but am interested to see how both the community and the devs feel about this looming gear upgrade. How do you feel about cp180 gear in the near future, and if negatively, why and when would be a more appropriate time to enact such a thing?

Why?
Because we're all increased to max anyway.
So by increasing the cap to lets say 180 it would only give grind because there would be no improvement.
We're all capped anyways.
Hey that's exactly what happened when CP came out in 1.6 and we were overnight weaker cuz they took a bunch of stuff from our base stats and gated it behind CP! Surely ZOS would never do something like that again...redspecter23 wrote: »
It would actually be wackier than that. Day 1, the cap goes up to 180. You are then a cp 180 toon with cp 160 gear in cp 180 content. You've actually LOST power compared to where you were a day before.
Khajiit would be fine with it but ONLY if they permit us a way to level up older items we've already spent so much time investing in.
Possibly a means by which a fully leveled crafter could upgrade a legendary item to a higher level using other materials. This seems reasonable enough especially if it requires us to complete some of the new content to acquire the 'upscaling' material in the first place.
They'd also like a way to change the styles of the item as well.
Considering that Telel has DOZENS of sets they've spent much time nad gold in acquiring they're not sure if they could maintain an interest in this game if they were to suddenly become obsolete. Hopefully ZOS learned their lesson from the relase of IC when they did pretty much that and drove away a number of players.
