When your first toon hits VR1 they will be awarded a flat amount of champion points (30) and then afterwards ant exp you gain, OR HAVE GAINED will reward you with more points. This means that a player with two V14 toons will have champion points equal to the exp to get two V14 toons.
Now the next question you may ask, how is this fair to players who have not leveled many toons or have not played a long tine on one v14? Champion points give diminishing returns when invested, so if you spend one point in a given "passive?" your point gives you 1% of that value, the next gives you 0.9%, then 0.8% ect. So a player with 1000 champion points will not be super superior to a player with 100.
I hope this helps clear up the confusion a thread like this has caused.
where did you hear that information? because that is Not what i heard said. all i heard said was that we would each recieve 30 champion points. at that point the conversation ended and changed to a different subject.

Its not based on incorrect information in any way. It ask s a question, that is all. Why do people always try to add context that is not there. How the hell can it be clearer, if 30 is the cap will people quit. How is that ambiguous or based on false information?
I'm sure if you did a poll saying do you like polls with a yes or no answer, someone on here would say its biased or un representative.
I also suspect that no one here is in anyway confused to the context of the poll, most have posed umpteen times in various threads about the issue of the day.
Don't try to clear up other peoples polls with your thought police bull crap.

poll like this is sort of blackmail, it should be removed, just my 2 cents.
I'm sure ZOS have discussed enough internally details of awarding CP, you should just trust them

I have canceled my subscription until further notice. I'm still waiting for an official answer on this issue and I'll make up my mind once I see it. For now I still have 2 weeks of game time left and I'm still doing the daily undaunted pledges and advancing crafting researchs.
I admit, however, that this is the first time since the beginning that I spend so little time logged in on ESO during a weekend, apart from the ones that I missed because of RL stuff.
The Champion System was a great source of excitement for me and I was eager to test everything on the PTS, but if this 30 CP thing is true, that'll be the end for me.
Thank you @Garetth, I thougt I would be the only one voting yes on the poll.

I don't need to be put on top of some ranking in order to feel special. I am already special - to me at least. So yeah, doesn't really affect me the least. I am actually glad for those who don't have an equal amount of time to sink into the game as me and my mates have to begin at roughly the same starting point for the CS.
What did those who voted "Yes" expect? Being maxed out on the new CS when it launches? Having 10 more points? 100? 1.000? If someone's as good as he claims and so hardcore at this, he'll falcon punch the CS anyways and just waltz through it at max speed. So.. either those folks seem to have an odd misconception of "What is the playerbase? A ) People with 300+ hrs per week for gaming or B ) People with 15+ hrs per week for gaming?" (and how this affects balancing), or they are vain or maybe suffer some odd ego issues in my book.
See.. this is a game. So it's supposed to be fun. Imagine you're Average Joe and get to VR 10 when the CS launches. Suddenly, there's players who are 5.000+ game hours away from you and it even shows in their skillpoints / passives?
Seriously - if this was pretty much every. single. other. mmo. I have played, you'd be a) paying for 1.6 and b) not get any frigging headstart whatsoever.
I'll simply enjoy the bit of bonus and go do what I always do: Having fun.

the answer was that people did all they could by any means to get that advantage and did it with legal and lawfull abilities iether by grinding on bosses or by quests.
and thats exactly what people have now been doing with what we were told was "recorded" xp and preparing for "again" that edge, that ability to be competitive in both pvp and pve.
i dont see that as a bad thing on our end for being angry about, i see that as a bad thing done to us by zenimax and they KNEW they were doing it and they KNEW we would be upset.

I was VR14 around day two (boo, I'm slow). At that time (update 4) there were fewer exciting options than today to level up.
- First I did all the quests in Upper Craglorn, which were the only new quests in the game for me at that time, but it wasn't enough to reach VR14
- Sanctum Ophidia and Dragonstar Arena were VR14, so I felt that I wouldn't make the most of those places if I didn't have the same level as the content.
- I tried doing some veteran dungeons, but it was hard to find other players to do them and they didn't give the undaunted heads at that time. All the loot was stil scaled to VR5 or VR10 and it was a bit boring to be honest.
- I went to Cyrodiil in the evening but didn't enjoy it that much and didn't get enough VP from it.
- In the end, I decided to do what I still hate: grinding stuff. At that time it was Hircine's, a dungeon in Lower Craglorn. I went in as VR13 and one hour later I was VR14.
Only then did I start doing Dragonstar Arena and Sanctum Ophidia, and it still took me weeks to complete them.
I hope this helps you understand the situation a bit more accurately @dwemer_paleologist.

Now they had mentioned in the ESO live episode that you will be able to invest 100 points in each star, but for the sake of this argument lets juts use the number 60 as it is seen in the image. Now, this may not be correct but I believe you can only invest 1 point in the grand master star, so lets do the math.
60 x 7 (for 60 points in each star) = 420
I like these "If *insert random stuff here* happens, will you unsub?" threads. We get at least one like this each month, usually about a patch that no player has got to try yet but some are already complaining about.

I still believe that Paul Sage, Eric Wrobel and Maria Aliprando, along with everyone at @ZOS want ESO to be a success and that they don't like when players jump out of the boat. I sincerely hope that even this tiny minority matters to them and that they will listen to our feedback.
The Champion System offers a ton of changes that look very exciting. I simply feel that this 30gate™ sadly eclipses everything else.
What interests me is the choice of "30."
Am currently comprehending this a 10 warrior, 10 thief, 10 mage; enough to max out a single star and unlock the next star in one constellation of each type.

So,
lets assume they lift the cap and you could get 1000 points at start, do you honestly believe any Casual would stick with ESO?
The majority would say goodbye, as the distance between Casual and Nerd would be so huge, that no Casual would ever be accepted again in a group.
As a nerd you will get more points anyways as soon you start playing, a Casual gets one a day and you get 3 or 4 if you play 24/7. So you will still be the big player, no need to worry about that.
Maria said clearly, they don't want to separate the gamers when the system hits as this would cause a hell lot of issues. Besides that it would often benefit those who used exploits at the start.
In the end, every new addition in an MMO does reset the game, this is how MMOs work. It ESO is your first then this is ok, we all were new at one time. However, you need to accept these type of things if you play MMOs.
No matter how much you play today, it can mean nothing tomorrow. This is the MMO philosophy, accept it or move on.
What interests me is the choice of "30."
Am currently comprehending this a 10 warrior, 10 thief, 10 mage; enough to max out a single star and unlock the next star in one constellation of each type.
You will have 10 points in the red area, 10 in the green area, and 10 in the blue area.
Each of those areas has 3 separate trees. Each of the trees has 4 stars you can put points into(and 4 more that are unlocked automatically as you spend points there), and each of those stars can hold 100 points max.
You will be able to unlock the first unlockable passive in each color (so 3) as long as you spend all 10 points (that belong to a color) in the same tree. For example, you have to spend all 10 green points in the steed (and none in the thief and lady which also are green) to unlock the first steed unlockable passive.

Just to clarify, Warrior is Red and contains the constellations of the Steed, the Lord and the Lady.
Thief is Green and contains the Tower, the Shadow and the Lover.
Mage is Blue and contains the Apprentice, the Ritual and the Atronach.
To my comprehension, the Warrior, the Thief and the Mage are not constellations within the colours, but are actually the constellations governing the colours.
Not clear on if they have an additional 9 passives (make 4 per colour) or not.
