This will created elitism among end-game content users.
You are going to start seeing groups that requires 501 cps instead of v16.
people wont group with you if youre way below cap.
this is a very bad change and cannot go live

    Curious that anyone is more upset about this than having half their login information visible on screen.

    Oh also, I do understand what you are saying - welcome to MMOs. Sorry I can't be more positive :/

    Account name is irrelevant, but now that I see how many CP some people on PTS have, I feel unworthy with only 300.

    Lol, and people thought getting rid of the VR ranks was a great idea, they all wanted to be "equal" once they hit lvl 50 , let the QQing begin, i have said in many threads that things would not be "Equal just because you leveled up a char to 50....

    I have to admit, is does feel like I'm running around withy pants down. And I have around 400. I feel bad for the new players. VR 6 running aroung with VR16 does not look like as drastic a gap as CP 65 among players in their 500s.

    Pretentious elitist here! No honestly what is the problem here? I really don't get it. As if such an "elitist" would use grouping tool or lfg in chat to do stuff. And even if they did whats the problem. If I want a smooth run through ICP or whatever and dont have enough people in the guild why am I not allowed to kick bad players? Why should I waste my time on wiping over and over? Get a guild and l2p.
    Ofcourse that doesn't mean everybody with low cp is a bad player but after all this time playing you know its most of the time those people.

    I don't mind having champion ranks visible as it is essentially our 'levels' now. But I really dislike having account names visible. I get that it can help with reporting? people or something like that, but if it's forced it will upset a lot of RP'ers imo.

    I'd be ok with them not showing people's champion points only if they made the content super easy to the point it poses no challenge to people with not enoth stats to pass dps races or heal checks or what not. I mean what self absorbed person you have to be to want to put people thru a downward slope in harder 4 man or up content looking at the IC 4 man dungeons with dps and heal checks. Sorry it's simple math since we can't see what gear you are wearing then at least let see peoples CPs so we know if we want to take the change or not of wasting our time with people when want to troll groups with little to no stats. Math is math at the end and if you can not contribute to the group's success in harder content because simply "you just don't have the stats" then people should get the option of whether or not if carrying you is too much of a burden or not.

    Or on another side note you could just not troll groups in the first place, and gear up and CP up like the other players in this game before walking into a 160CP scaled WGT pledge with 100CP and blue non set gear. Just my opinion nothing elitism about my statement. In most cases time is money and most people/groups should be able to see who has around to base line stats of what it takes to get through the content successfully rather then going through about 20 mins into the content and then, thats right "vote kicking the troll" in group and having to reform for other run and hope not to get another troll.

    My ending statement is, groups should have the tools to make a informed if not highly informed decision on rather to kick or just leave before wasting mind numbing time inside of a somewhat supposed easy 4 man vet dungeon, let alone ones like ICP and WGT. My time is just as important as your feelings to troll me or the group that I am in and maybe get a painful carry in the process. Groups should be able to have to power to decide whether or not if they feel like carrying someone or not. It's simple you either get kicked from group or someone in the group leaves before starting said fail run of content.

    Ok enoth of my rant.


    PS# I don't mind banging my head against the for other people even
    non-guilde randoms "some of the time", other times I just want
    to efficiently clear content. If you are soo self center to the point
    you feel others "must,have, and should be forced to carry your
    slack with no choicethen I feel no sympathy for "hurting your
    little feelings since you have no concern for mines."

    Yeah I'm not too fond of my account name being visible to non guildies or people not on my friends. But then again in this day and age I'm not so surprised that our little privacy is getting taken away even in video games.

    It's always been accessible to people if they put you on /ignore for a second, and those who use controllers on PC say that that mode has always shown them people's @ -names. This same worry happened at PC launch because guild members could see the @ -names. People got over it pretty quick.

    Elitists gonna elite. Let their pickiness weed them out as "people you don't want to run with". If someone is bothering to post "need X cp" in /zone (even though the requires level for the content is way lower) and that offends you ignore their requests. I get that people are worried and asking to have CP hidden is fine, but there are lots of players who care more about having a good time and whether you can do your role than "being the best and running with the best". I would much rather have someone with half the CP who was competent and friendly than someone with tons of CP who was rude and socially challenged. The latter oddly enough often don't know the mechanics very well or do their own thing and expect everyone else to follow their lead/cover their rear.

    Like this guy...

    I think the CP number display is ugly. Also it's irrelevant to see that someone has 700 or 800 CP's next to their name when they currently can assign only 501 of them.

    Can't they find some attractive symbol to put up there to show 100 point ranges or so up to usage cap? I get that if you're doing competitive content you want to make sure your team members have CP's but the current display is just not attractive.

    Whats the point in the higher rank tho? I think it should just stop at 160 or 501? Does it even make a difference. Like what about the rare people with 1200+ cp whats the point in showing that just gonna cause unnecessary flaming.

    That's other side of it. Everyone's first thought was the low end guy dealing with elitists. Players with four digit, or close to it, ranks can expect much more hate in game now.

    I agree with the fact that it should not display a persons CP # next to there name, that is really only going to cause issue and ZOS has tried to avoid these kinds of things in the past.

    I only group with my core group anyway so its not even a big issue for me personally. but this is a pretty lame change.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno could you see about having this number capped at 160 (the "level cap") or not show at all?

    Account names were visible to everyone before this, what's the issue? If you follow password security then you will have no issues.

    As for CP, again, I fail to see the issue. People focus on the "I won't get grouped with because I have 300 CP" aspect but conveniently neglect the reserve situation of "I'm a good player who knows my class/role well and despite only having 250 CP I get grouped with a lot".

    I'm in a good guild and so I get called an elitist. The crux of the matter is I could not care less if you have 100 CP or 1,000 CP because almost all content in the game can be completed with 100 CP and everything except vMOL can be done with zero champion points if you are skilled enough.

    Anyone who does call you out for low CP isn't someone worth playing with anyway.
