How about...

*shrug*

none of the above apply

Little in this game would make me take such drastic, tantrum-type action except maybe serious P2W in the store but I doubt I'll be here forever, either.

I have 2 VR16s, a VR15, a VR14, a VR1 and a couple lowbies. Considerably more gearing to worry about than you.
They'll get there when they get there and not a minute before
Only thing for sure about an MMO is...things will change.

Who cares? Why do people think this is even an issue? So it might be called level 65 instead of VR15...

It would have to be pretty catastrophic to drive me away from meh favorite game...

They said somewhere on the forums that they would be talking about the vet levels in late 2016, so it will probably be sometime in 2017 before any actual change comes about.

I just don't want to keep leveling characters to v16 if all the work is for nothing. (I know I'm playing an MMO and that in the end it's all for nothing.) I want to keep playing and will keep playing as long as they keep adding new content, but I don't like to think about earned rewards being taken away and in my opinion v16 is a reward.

I am sure they will not remove Veteran Ranks in 2015.
Why leaving this game? They will raise cap or it will be Vr18 or Vr20 but they will do it, and while grinding my character i got bored of using same abilities.(Not to mention farming good sets from vet dungeon bosses or random drops)

Who knows what the future may hold for it is unwritten.

I see no reason, one way or the other, that this would effect my decision to stay or go.

New games may attract me. But very few things will drive me away (stares at loading screen).

+1 this.

What kind of poll is this? At least give better choices.

At this point with the Veteran Ranks I have little issue with them. With only 850k xp per level and increased xp earned across the board in Vet zones I am satisfied with how they work.

What I would like to see is a better option for Vet zones. Cadwell's Silver and Gold is not the best option for "end game" questing content. I really do not like having to repeat content and call it end game. If I want to experience the other faction story I would just create an alt. The Vet levels need to have new story and content and before you say "We have Orsinium now", Orsinium is not designed as end game Vet content (and that is good). Right now we don't even have Trials that are true end game (possibly when the new Trial hits Q1 we will see all of them scaled).

Good point !

How will leveling go of alts between Vet 1 and Vet 16? What will be the benefit?

The CP is account wide. The vet level that disappears is character bound.

getting a toon up to level 50 wont take you more then 2-3 days if you grind through it?

I will grow further and further away from the game the longer Veteran Ranks remain in the game. I love my alts and they keep me playing. Making it a massive pain in my magnificent arse to level an alt to cap severely limits my interest in the game. At the very least, a catch up mechanic would be nice. I like how WoW did heirlooms.

Need a 5th option for "Wait and see."

I Have expressed my opinion all over these forums and am growing weary of the topic. I say leave Vet Ranking alone and quit catering to those whiners that want the leveling without doing the work. If a person cannot find enjoyment in building character levels while following [what I think are] engaging storylines, then maybe this game isn't for them.

If Vet rankings are eliminated the malcontented will simply find something else to complain about.

Pardon if I cannot find enjoyment in doing a story that was almost boring the first time I did it, not to mention I already did it twice, or that by the time I got through 1-50 (which I really don't mind all that much), I'd find VR1-16 agonizing. It'd be less agonizing if I could skip right to 50 and start on the Silver/Gold quests.

I have two VR16s, a VR10 and a VR4, all at various stages in Silver/Gold. I see no justification for anyone saying 'go through that all again just to get to the content you actually want to do and enjoy'.

I won't deny that I agree with the idea that a player's first character should have to go through all that...but the second, third, fourth, etc? Nooooo.

Lastly, there appears to be the idea that 'people will always find something to complain about'. I think it is flawed to lump everyone together. People are -already- complaining about other stuff...I believe (and hope O.o) that the people complaining about leveling speed would...actually go back to playing the game. There is, I don't think, a linear progression of complaining. In my experience, I've found no one that goes

"Okay, I'm going to complain super duper hard about this one issue...and ONLY this issue...until it's fixed. Once it's fixed, I'll go complain about this next issue and stick with it for the next five months, then move on to another thing that irritates me."

In WoW and on ESO I've heard 'first ZOS does this and [you] complain, then ZOS reverses it and [you] still complain! Ugh! Idiots!" - yet they don't take into consideration the possibility that the people who were complaining at first are not the same people who are complaining about the reversal.

Game lacks any content (except for vMA which is single player)

Most friends/guidlies already left

If i want to quest and play on my own, i'd rather play a good game then ESO

PVP.. hahahaha

Bullsh**. The average time to 50 by the VAST majority of players if far, far beyond 2-3 days (PROVEN BY STATS!!!). Try doing that without xp buffs playing, LISTENING TO STORY, managing inventory, leveling crafting, actually talking to players, participating in groups from time to time, etc while playing 3-4 hours a day TOPS.

You hardcore grinders who corrupt the entire principle behind the game to try reach end game while ignoring 90+% of the game's actual design need to enter reality.

We are not talking about how fast it takes to get somewhere. We are talking about the experience one has WHILE getting there.

Posts like your explains a hell of a lot about the current state of mmos.

Although, I really think that removing vet ranks is a mistake. There are many other routes they could take.

Sounds to me that the OP wants to jump off but is waiting until somebody pushes him so it will be their fault. lol

Lag is so bad in pvp I only play occasionally and am just waiting for Camelot Unchained beta.
