I gain like 1 or 2 a day at this point.. 866 cp

How many hours per day?
I might not earn 2 cp per day on a Sat or Sun when I might play for 10-12 hours, and I am only on 707cp. The OP was asking how many cp per hour, and unless you are using training gear (?), potions (?) and enlightenment, you must be putting in a lot of hours to get 2 a day at 866cp.

I'm 750. An hour of gold farming/grinding nets 1.5 cp without scrolls or event. When the event is on and scrolls are blaring without interruption you can make 4 an hour.

Again, what are you doing to get 1.5cp per hour at this level?
I can understand farming for gold and materials but that does not earn cp at this rate. What are you grinding for - it is not as if you need the cp?

I am just trying to put this all into perspective for the OP and any others who might read this. I'd hate to make people think they were doing something wrong when they don't get the same return.

A nice, solid exp grind without doing anything creative will net you 1m exp an hour at end game, which you can boost with Training traits, Mythic Ambrosia, and depending on the time of year an Experience Event to resemble 3-5m /hour. Get creative and you can do better. How many CP that is depends on how many you have, of course, it's curved.

If you're cp capped, and it takes longer than 6 hours to get a new character from 3 to 50, you are doing it wrong.

Incorrect - if it takes longer than this you might actually be playing the game and doing some story content as opposed to grinding.

When I roll a new character I take longer than 6 hours but I make a point of going out and getting skyshards as well making some progress on the story lines (the Harbourage, mages/fighters guilds) as they provide you with vital skill points which you will need later on.

I make training gear for the characters but do not use XP potions. Besides, I hate getting a new character to CP cap and still having most of my skill lines at 2 or 3, unable to use any of the higher level skills I want.

My position is that doing the main quest lines and searching for skyshards is more easily done with c160 equipment and full skill access. When grinding correctly, a player should chose his active-bar abilities to provide exp to each class line and at least one weapon line. Preferably you should also be leveling every skill to the point that it can be morphed, though that may not be possible if you are soloing.

I am not trying to dissuade players from enjoying the quest and exploration content, I did as well. In 2014... these days I'd just like my alts available asap

I guess that we do just do things differently.

I try to be ready for end game content when I reach level 50, hence the reason I get as many skill points and skill lines leveled up as I can while reaching level 50. You are happy to reach level 50 and then do the 'grind' for skill points and skill line leveling. There is no right or wrong, just differing approaches.

With 1T, I think is is actually easier to do any content while below level 50 than it ever was before - especially at CP cap.
