I really dont understand why anyone would want to play on a campaign where they couldnt keep progressing their character... hitting that 'I'm finished wall" is the biggest reason people will stop playing. Personally I really like the fact that i can PVP all night and gain 2 to 3 CPS and slighty make my character stronger. It gives me something to aim for.

Sure there are PVE grinders that have 1000 CPs, but they are grinding in PVE chances are your not going to fight them in PVP and even when you do its really not that signifigant of a difference. Since the first CPs give the most bonus and the further you go give less returns there is a very minimal strength difference between someone with 200 CPS and someone with 1000CPs. In most cases the difference would never effect the fight.

I think CPs are best thing to happen to this game, especially after they remove vet levels. But everyone fins something to complain about because they lost a fight. Next people will want a campaign where you dont need to level up at all and everyone is the exact same. or a campaign where you can only wear blue gear. Its just getting rediculous

Because there are those people who would rather strive for balance and find the most powerful or most fun to play build in such a scenario. I don't care for progressing my character. Since I levelled up at launc until the introduction of the CS, I changed my weapons from destro/bow to destro/resto because it was needed and later used 2 engine guardian instead of the 5 pc warlock bonus when it was added. And the game wasn't boring at all...

I like the idea. I like every idea in this thread. When you see a fork in the road, take it!

Personally i like the champion system and vet ranks. I understand that there are those that don't however, and i think this is a better option than Capping/Nerfing the champion system and getting rid of vet ranks for everyone. So yeah, i agree.

in this tho would you want another ZERG of 16 player spamming healing springs taking on 50 players...

Zerg is way different than you think.
"Nowadays term zerg is used in mmo games to describe force consisted of large group of lower level players (often with only basic equipment) who use numbers rather then strategy to defeat the enemy, therefore requiring no skill. This tactics is commonly known as zerging."

If you mean blobs/trains who stacks on top of each other while following the crown and use only a couple of preselected skills like steel tornado/vigor or impulse/healing springs in the past and lag the shìt out for entire server, then yeah, I think most of us here would agree with that they should go. But that has nothing to do with softcaps or CPs.
And do not let your mind confused, these trains have nothing in common with groups of 4-12 players taking on overwhelming numbers as you may or may not encountered/watched videos.

Lets be honest the only special ruleset that would get accpeted by zos is heavy attacks only

To each their own, but here is a parallel anecdote, when I first started playing this game I joined a guild called Gaiscioch. They had come from GW2, a game where progression ends basically 2 weeks after you buy the game and from there on out it is just about getting better with your character and refining some of your gear choices. Gaiscioch came to this game with several hundred players, maybe more than a thousand, they had 3 guilds to hold their members at launch, and used to run Cyrodiil raids around 5 nights a week. In the beginning of the game they came out with more than 150 players on any AVA night. The guild is still in this game but I don't think they sport more than a dozen or so active members, and most of their events revolve around PVE with 1 or 2 nights a week small format PVP. Most of them are back in GW2 doing RvR almost every night of the week, I just looked at their calendar and counted 10 RvR events in this weeks schedule.

There is something to be said about hitting a plateau in metrics and then getting better with your own skill from there rather than staying in a perpetual numbers race that benefits dedicated PVE grinders.

A No CP campaign admits that CP is a bad/poorly designed system. They won't do that.

I would come back to try this.

I can only imagine the bugs that would result from the attempt.
