If I had to guess, they will cap CP and EXP so people will make more 50+ toons. Its a smart business decision, hopefully it will be accompanied by big changes to VR.

Didn't zenimax say that they wanted to encourage people to stay on and their main toons without the need to make others?

It.would.make.sense to.completely remove any non numeric level. Make everyone level 50

VR levels would be gone and the champion skills would just be skills earned like D3 paragon skills to use on other passive skills TBD.

The veteran levels are dumb because it separates players and serves no purpose. Make max level 50 and gear/weapons max at 50 to establish an endgame economy. Adding VR levels erroneously is not helping.

Per P Sage the VR level was originally suppose to represent a season.
IF VR were a season and the participation rewards were VR1,2,3,4...items that a level 50 could wear or recipe etc to be used that would make sense.

Playing the VR content should be level 50-55 NPCs and at a certain amount of exp a new champion level should come just like Diablo 3.
Simplify the endgame confusion and cut down on who is x level for endgame. Use gear and skills level to satisfy requirements for.raiding and endgame PvP stuff.

Champion levels or in.my other post rewards to make a character.more.proficient or to reduce costs of other things like bag upgrades, horse upgrades and horse costs for all chars on an account make sense.

Don't separate ppl. Establish a level that once the story is completed other chars can join in on endgame.

This is something that needs immense clarification, as two very different views are being drawn from this interview.

Recap of the facts first:
* Veteran Overhaul Phase 1 (Complete): Lower the difficulty of 50+ and 50++
* Veteran Overhaul Phase 2 (Update 4 [maybe]): Replace "Veteran Points" with "Experience Points". Veteran Ranks will be increased by XP.
* Veteran Overhaul Phase 3 (Beyond Update 4): Introduce Champion Rating.

The differing views:
* The horizontal-progression Champion Ratings completely replaces the vertical-progression Veteran Ranks, and everything that goes with it is affected.
* The horizontal-progression Champion Ratings are added in parallel to the vertical-progression Veteran Ranks, complementing each other and altering some of the related systems.

The question (please help, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌, @ZOS_GinaBruno‌, @ZOS_TristanK‌, @ZOS_AmeliaR‌):
* Is horizontal progression outright replacing vertical progression, or are they two systems that will work in parallel?

Heh, pre-launch they said a LOT of such things.

I hope champion system comes along with a complete revamp of Veteran zones.

Having to go through all three alliances was ridiculous enough to begin with.

If I'm going to have to spam alt characters through Veteran content just to keep up with other player's champion points bonuses in PvP...
