The CP you earned on all of your other characters, using your example of 400 CP, will be available on any new character you create. You can allocate those CP for your new character as you would any other. However, that new character is still not eligible to earn exp towards CP until it reaches level 50. Upon reaching level 50, any form of incoming experience counts toward CP.

Do you work for ZOS CS?

No, that is simply how it works.

Ok, that makes sense, but it seems that once I hit Cadwells zones I will still be over-leveled to gain any XP towards CP.

We don't really know how xp rewards and difficulty will be handled in Caldwell's after VR removal. Its possible that everything will be level 50 and give the same xp, or have some sort of champion-system-related difficulty stat that xp rewards will be calculated off of.

We just don't know yet.

Hmm, I see your point, and I'm not sure I have the answer for you.

I'd like to think that it would remain balanced once you move on to the silver & gold zones. I don't imagine there will be much of a difference in the functionality of those mobs, or their stats. But really it's up to ZOS to implement this change while maintaining balance, and who knows what they'll do? It would come as a surprise to me if your CP progression rate slowed when you reached 50 and still went to the silver zones, which is the "intended" next step of leveling. I'm willing to bet that ZOS will be paying more attention to progression balance than pvp or pve endgame balance, especially with continued influx of new players.

It seems that they are working on making silver and gold content level agnostic like the orsinium DLC.

That would be great if they made Cadwell's Silver & Gold like Orsinium. It would make the most sense (to me at least).

I think at this point in ESO's lifetime, this idea would work quite well. No reason to force any particular order. I'd say after defeating Molag Bal, all silver & gold zones become available and you can do anything you want in whatever order you want, except the main story quests, which should be done in order.
