People are starting to realise that not much will change with removal of vet ranks.

All that changed its now all your alts need upgraded weapons/armour at the same time and since DLCs and dungeons scale to your level you will have a bunch of toons underpowered till you have the time to get materials for all of them rather than letting the toon level with the gear.

Let's see who is still in denial....

This is the way it's always been, there's nothing changing here except you don't have to level each alt individually before regearing them. It's still less hassle than before VR is removed.

I'm sorry but it looks like all the doom-and-gloom predictions are simply not going to pan out.

Exactly. It's same as it was.

Or you can just transfer the gear from your main, since the bank is account wide. In theory you could get one set of light heavy and medium for your whole account, provided the set bonus's were decent enough.

At least with the new system if you get a drop on one character that it won't use, there's a chance your alt can, since it's always the same level.

Alts will actually help gear your main in the new system.

So for those of us with 450+ cp we dont have to worry bout true progession for a couple more years?

All we have to do is farm mats every time a new dlc drops lmfao?

That sounds like fun!

And this point is exactly what I am worried about...I enjoy playing the game's content and not just farming mats

The good news is the next time they raise the cap, you'll probably need 1500 mats per item instead of 150. lol

Yeah let's not forget that!

I don't think it's that different from VR gear updates - i was updating it every couple ranks back when it was going through them took way longer. Top tier gear stopes at 160 cp as far as i understand - just like v16.

Also, if you do not enjoy collecting mats - don't, there's other ways of obtaining new gear. You can do dailies, writs (they give you a reasonable amount of gold on top of sellable items), steal some stuff. Quest on your lowbies - early level gear sells surprisingly well. With all this gold you can order gear or barter it for something.

There will be some grind, but it's up to you to transform it into fun - just do you like and are best at

ELI5,
If I have 2 V16s , maxed CP and a V7... is my V7 essentially going to become the same rank as my V16s?

part of me hopes it doesn't go up by 10 every time but larger jumps. I don't have that many CP but it would give me a reason to get more and stop my altoholic behaviors.
