I wouldn't be all too thrilled to have all of this advancement yanked out from under me. I'd probably unsub. If people don't want to do Cadwell's quests, then provide a valid alternative for advancing (like an expansion pack with totally new content), but keep Cadwell's G/S in place. I personally enjoy them and would be sorely disappointed if I suddenly wasn't able to complete them. I do not plan on playing alts. I always play MMOs with a single character and don't want to have to create new ones to enjoy the other content.

Let's break this down ...

The title is:

- Please do not remove vet ranks

Then you go on to say, without mentioning vet ranks at all....

- I like to do Cadwells S/G, I Personally enjoy them ...

Followed quickly by....!?

- I do not plan on playing alts.

I can only shake my head and reply, "wth?"

How can you advocate to keep a system that you have no intention of using ever again. You say keep the vet ranks, but you don't actually talk about vet ranks at all, only about cadwells, but since you've already completed cadwells and have no plan to make any alts (by your own admission) then what do you care what they do with any of it?

In any case, it's all a moot point because they are removing vet ranks. It's happening. The vet ranks is a silly system and it needs to go the way of the dodo. However, at no point have they mentioned ever getting rid of cadwells quests. So I don't even know why you are worried about that and yet at the same time, I am still boggled how you can be "sorely disappointed" about not being able to complete something that you have no intention of ever doing again, because to do them again, you'd need to make an alt and you said you don't want to make any more alts .... see where this is going?

Sorry, but this post is just so ludicrous I was unable to contain myself.

i like vet ranks, but the gap in stats between vr1's and vr14's in pvp is far to high. What needs to happen is they keep vet ranks, but remove all stat changes and level all gear in vet ranks to same basic stats. Vet ranks would just be extra skill points, and maybe something inconsequential or something that would only effect pve

edit: you can keep the same basic difficulty in pve, i mean my vr2 can solo most of the craglorn overland, and none of the pve zones, even the pub dungeons, pose any real challenge. Group dungeons are the only challenge left to me, but even as skilled as i think i am, i need another player to help out with that.

edit edit: my vr14 finds no challenge in anything outside of pvp, and i hate pvp so ive basically shunted my vr14 to crafting duty and roleplay duty

Removing Veteran Ranks sounds good in theory, but there is so much rebalancing involved in terms of itemization and monster stats, that I don't believe it could work well in practice.

Right now, there is a considerable difference between a V1 and V14 veteran dungeon. What happens when vet ranks are removed?

What about my character that is currently V1? Does he suddenly get to equip the extra legendary V14 gear that my main isn't using?

See how some of these problems aren't easily addressed?

I am concerned about putting all this time and money in for it to mean nothing. (Vr 14 eu 3x v14 na)

The concentration of brain dead people in this topic shakes me to the spine

- They would trade VR levels for CP grinding! Awesome! No matter that right now CP are just an extra bonus for those who players as VR14 for a long time and cannot progress any further. They would make 3600 CP (1440VR) as a progression for this game!
- They would scale back all v14 to lvl 50! Amazing idea, i vote for noble price for this brainiac. All that hundreds of thousands gold i spent on v14 gear thrown down to the drain. But i support this idea! yes I do. It would result in me stop playing this game and surround myself with such individuals!

And i don't even want to talk about all other silly ideas in this topic, have to watch my blood pressure

YES to VR ranks!

There are more pressing matters with this game!

- LAG!
- Need of new content!
- One year old bugs to fix!

Some complainers will leave the game? Who cares, they would leave for reason or another anyway. You remove VR i guarantee that many more will leave with no looking back.
