Not sure what's up with the CP this and that. Alot of people assume that high CP is needed for certain content. CP means nothing. It only shows how much have you grinded. Dungeons are full of high CP players who stand in corner and spam bow light attacks.

CP is a participation prize and means just about that much. I don't know why people seem to place so much value on it.

Yeah, I've 2000 CP I've been around a while. I still have never done a trial and not much vet content. I'm retired and I just play every day...

It's not a participation prize, it's a tool. Yes, tools are only as useful as the person using it. But, your potential at completing a task remains higher with the appropriate tools than with none. CP adds passive power to your character. So, if the only thing you have to go by is two players are X CP, and you know nothing of their gear, skill, playstyle, etc, it's better to go with the person with the higher CP. Because at least that's passive power you know they have.

Well beyond a certain CP all of the useful passives have been selected and you have your 4 stars in each tree. It's not really that much CP either. So the difference between 1400 and 1500 for instance is not all that significant. I don't think choosing one over the other simply based on that single difference would be all that useful. But YMMV.

But a low cp player is generally one that doesn't have enough CP to have all the passives and slottables they need.
