CPs replacing VRs

So I was perusing through the subreddit AUA and came across this tidbit @Wrobel posted about and honestly, I don't think I like this approach. Too many conflicting factors involved such as how it will impact crafting and Cadwell's Silver and Gold. It's so easy to level in this game that it would be nice to see the level cap actually rise instead of overall drop like this. Also someone made a valid point: what of the attribute points from Vet Ranks?
I'd really like to know what the reasoning behind using CPs to cover for the removal of VRs is, because frankly... I don't see it.

No it will not. In fact, even with VRs still around we are still considered Level 50 to certain parts of the game.Did we really need a separate thread for this when it's already actively being discussed in a thread with developer comments?
If you are talking about this one http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/231941/no-we-are-not-raising-the-vr-cap-before-we-remove-them then it is not the same topic. That one talks about VR removal, whereas this one talks about using CP to make up for said removal.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

✭How many people here don't know that the CP system was designed to replace Vet Ranks and they have only been in game together as a temporary measure?
I'm thinking quite a few....
This is why console should have never launched with Vet Ranks in place. Looking forward to finally seeing them removed.Edited by Elijah_Crow on November 20, 2015 12:58PM0 -

That's fine, but what most ppl bugs is that if you're now maxed lvl, you won't be when this change hits live unless you sit at 501 CP. And that is not cool.Georgion - Bosmer/Templar - PC/EU0 -

Not true. If max gear level is CP160 and every VR16 character is at minimum CP160 then there is no change. Actually there is because on top of the catchup mechanic they are going to bring every VR16 up to 160 CP to be sure you can wear all gear you currently have. Another boost for more casual players.
You can still wear the top gear and the only strength difference is your CP between 160 and 501. Same as now.0 -

Ok, this douesn't sound as terrible as I thought. But as somebody pointed out already, we can go eventually up to VR360 (3600CP). That's just lol. And even much earlier ppl will have to grind, simply because the difference beewteen for example CP160 gear and CP720 gear will be already significant.
I'm wondering what will battle lvling look like.Georgion - Bosmer/Templar - PC/EU0 -

✭✭✭I would still rather see more levels than less. For example: Why not raise the Level Cap to 150 when VR goes? This would certainly solve the concern with Cadwell's Silver and Gold and be less disappointing than simply reaching Lv50 and letting CPs take over. I'm just not a fan of hitting a level cap in an MMO so easily, whether something like the CP system exists or not.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.
