Simple Solution to ZOS’ Veteran-Champion Points Debacle

ZOS, the solution to this debacle is pretty simple.
Reward V1-V14 players with TITLES or other COSMETIC GEARS (FOR EACH LEVEL) that will be truly unique and unavailable in the future patch/expension/promotions.
1) ZOS truly does not want to grant additional CPs.
2) No matter how much cap you place with CPs, there will always be dissatisfied old-hardcore-veteran players.
The Veteran-Ranked players are not just mere players. The Veteran-Ranked players are the “true lovers of ESO” who did not abandon ESO while plethora of the new games were released.
REWARD the VETERAN RANKED PLAYERS with truly unique cosmetic gears & mounts to compensate for their effort (and make sure not to reissue those cosmetic items & mounts in the future patches.)
Think of Grand Marshal ranks in WoW. They have stayed up all night long to achieve Grand Marshal rank. Their efforts are rewarded by them being able to use their Grand Marshal gears for cosmetic (transmogrification) and making them stand out even after the test of times.
Don’t do something stupid by rewarding same cosmetic gears for all V1-V14. Make V14 cosmetic gears truly unique so that the other future millions of players will look at these cosmetic gears and regret for not joining ESO in the beginning.
This will never solve “Veteran points =/= Champion points” conversion issue. But this would be the ultimate gesture of a true-hand-shaked-thank-you from ZOS to old “Veteran-Ranked” players for being with ESO during its infancy.

I somehow doubt that
Having VR chars doesn't mean much in regards of loyalty. Its about playtime, not sub time.
I was subbed since early access, yet I don't possess a VR 14.REWARD the VETERAN RANKED PLAYERS with truly unique cosmetic gears & mounts to compensate for their effort (and make sure not to reissue those cosmetic items & mounts in the future patches.)
I am quite sure this will come when the VR system is removed. 1.6 is too early for this, as the VR´s are still in the game.Think of Grand Marshal ranks in WoW.

Sadly this isn't true. Everyone can get that gear, you only need an Arena or BG rating for it.

I don't think someone cares that much about a mount or a cosmetic item, that he would sub to an MMO which he or she doesn't like. 1 -
Layenem✭✭✭✭There's not a solution to it. It's just something we're all going to have to deal with. Being forced in the same boat as a vr1 (no hatred towards you vr1s out there) is insulting towards my time that I've invested. Let's be honest, I've submitted bug reports, feedback reports, and dealt with customer service plenty when it comes to a lot of end game content, stuff non vets don't see and more stuff that v1s don't see.
One thing that I'm very nervous about is the idea the v1s being more capable of grouping with v14s for dungeons now. One person noted that the dungeon finder will be better capable of grouping people together. Sure. But now you've got a bunch of people who hit v1 using a build that was good for pre vet content going in to vet dungeons with no self discipline to make sure that they are ready for it. Most of those people will come here to cry that they get auto booted from groups now, which is probably worse than not finding a group at v1, having to grind to v14 (or, you know, actually level via solo content and learn your class).
Personally, I'd still take the v14 over the v1 because at least they showed some dedication to leveling, to improving their characters power. A v1 just can't push the same dps, mitigate the same damage, or heal nearly as effectively as a v14. The gear itself limits their group output. Not much will improve on that level. Embrace yourself fro the tears on the forums as people BEG for a Rift-esque "Party Abandoner" debuff.0
