Lol my reasoning behind leaving as is because I already feel like a God with almost 470 CPs. If ZOS raises the cap before addressing the power creep of the CP system no new accounts starting out in the game would have a lick of fun for many many months because most of the CP gathering exploits have been reported by the same people who used them and got tried grinding after getting massive amounts of CPs in like two weeks.

The catch up system is fine but I just feel like it's not enoth when I look and game and see many players under 300CPs atm. Me personally I would be ok with a CP cap raise only if ZOS bring back these content many of these CP 1000 and higher players used to get their CPs before they reported them so no one behind them can catch up. I know of 4 such players off the top of my head who begged about doing such things, but the forums will not allow me to name and shame people soo w/e.
Oh and btw the catch up system is horrid been needed over 400k plus XP since my 400CP mark and a environment where all of the CXP gains have been nerfed into oblivion.

Ofc ZOS could've just dealt with these exploiters and took away all of their ill gotten CPs. Then this problem of those players wanting the CP raised so high wouldn't exist in the first place now. Afterall players getting 1250CPs plus in like a few weeks is legit right when now that process would take forever for anyone who did not exploited at the time or was around right?

My ending comments is in my opinion ZOS should only raise the CP cap, only if they allowed all content to give much more CXP then currently, so that people can truly catch if they are playing the game. Or they retooled the CP system so that the difference in power between 10CP and 1500CP is only around %10 extra stats or so instead of %25 across multiple stats. This would make players who have these monstrous amount of CPs still more powerful then new accounts but not by the out of control margin that players would have now. I am already wrecking and getting hate mail from Maxed Level CP185 players in TF, while I'm playing on lvl 30s and lvl 40 characters mostly because of the current CP system.

@FearlessOne_2014 So all in all you're saying that PvE content is too easy overall to let us have even higher caps..
I kinda agree on that but in the end it won't really matter. If you're a good player, having 501cp or having 750cp will hardly make any difference in your everyday dungeon, it will be easy either way and you will probably not die a single time anyways and have the bosses down in 10 seconds (lets say two DDs have 40k dps each and the healer and the tank have 20k together, which means that your teams deals 1million damage in 10 seconds. Thats pretty much what the average dungeon boss has and even if it has, say 2m it'll only take 20s, which is mostly fast enough to ignore any mechanics). I even get over 20k dps on crematorial guards with my healer while fully buffing my group because I don't have to heal much. Dropping siphon and Healing springs will be enough for the entire fight to that I can beam the guard for the rest of the time. The problem here are not cp, it's that the content is too easy.
Removing CP completely would be a step into the right direction, it would make normal content a bit harder again and give us a greater flexibility with builds since you have to worry about your sustain then.
On the other hand, removing CP would mean that vMSA will become quite nasty, especially for beginners. It would also make the new hard content (vMoL, vSO and probably the coming vHRC and vAA) even harder, which would be a bit contradictive considering that only dedicated elite groups can complete those right now (at least vMoL), taking away all hopes from not so serious guild in completing those.
I also think that cp501 players who have problems with MSA for example would be a bit more motivated if they knew that that stuff will be made a bit easier with an upcoming patch because they can spend another, say 250 cp.
All in all you have to keep a balance between hard endgame content and giving out more damage to players every patch.
And it's not like raising the cap would make low cp players worse, it rather gives them the opportunity to become better than ever if they keep playing and earn some CP.

While yes I do agree with you a slight bit. My concern was mainly a PvP one where some of those players who have bottomless CPs through ill gotten means, will be able to grief and or harass the legit or new players again. After all that's what caused the CP Cap in the first place, people who got over 1000CP in a week through exploiting glitches and then reporting the glitches after the they was so no one behind them could use them. Just so that they can have a totally and highly unfair advantage.

I'm basically saying @peniku8 that the only reason that a raise in CP to that degree would be fine in my opinion. If ZOS bring back the CXP to the game like they was in the glitched content that most of the super high CP players got their CPs in the first place, that not only cause ZOS to not only fix the said glitches but nerf every single bit of content in the game except for quest XP/CXP gains.

I hope you are starting to see what I mean. At this point I'm not truly calling for CP cap to stay. I'm calling for a true catch up not just some shame of a catch up system. One that will truly get people caught up to these people with 1000CPs or more. I believe that if ZOS did this it'll be a win/win for all parties in question. Party A with a *** ton of CPs can now be allow to use them. Party B would still have to work for these CP hopefully just as much a Party A but will get caught up properly.

This proposal in my opinon would be the best to bring a bit of more balance to the game as a whole. The only people that I can imagine that would be against such a thing, is again those grievers who exploited glitched content and reported said content to ZOS after they was done with is, so they can prevent others from being able to compete with them.That in it's self is a problem that came from the Devs decision to allow these players to keep their ill gotten advantage that they are now complaining about not being able to use.

That is why I said what I said. If it's took person A a week or two max through exploits to get a 1000CPs, why should person B coming behind must take 6 to 10 months with the same effort as person A to be on the same ground as person A who again exploited glitched content then decided to take said unfair advantage in the non vet campaign just to grief the players there. Have we already not remember what caused ZOS to put a cap on the CPs to begain and make the non vet campaign disable all CPs while inside.

Saying all of this the only 3 legitimate options I can come up with is... A.) Boost CXP gains to the CXP gains that people was getting before while exploiting glitched content, but keep the amount of CXP needed to get the next CP alone. B.) Only move the CXP cap when a certain percent of the player base is either close or at current CP cap. C.) Finally do some admin work and take away EVERY SINGLE CP those exploiters/grievers earned through the glitched content that no one now can earn.
