They're not leaving because of the CP changes. On the contrary, most believe the CP changes to be the only thing headed in the right direction this patch.

The cp changes are The right thing.
Whats The Wrong thing is nerfing The sustain from different classes to the ground.
Bringing The classes sustain at Bar while The dps is not really balanced will just kill nightblades in pve.

As others have said:

CP changes are good.

ZoS should have stopped there and see how that panned out.

They didn't.... And it's all the class and skill changes after that which are not good & causing concern.

I've been playing ESO for 2 years now and those cp changes seem so stupid. It seems like ESO is declining and devs are ruining it honestly, it's going very bad and the community is having big players losses, for example most of ESO's content creators on yt are leaving. What do you think? Do you think that this patch is positive?

CP changes are very good for the game, what are you talking about?

The main problem is the class balance, not the cp changes.

ZOS in nerfing all classes.. but wait.. all of them ? Of course Sourcerer-ninja-assasin-tank-warrior-mage-healer Op will have only this:

"Dark Exchange: This ability and its morphs now have 0.2 seconds of animation blending time at the end of their cast."

And compared to other classes this is like just a formal change and not a significant nerf. Class that is already super OP and is like 90% of cyrodill population has almost no changes while other classes are getting wrecked.
And NB (already class that is considered the worst - both magicka & stamina) is getting it core gameplay mechanics removed (stealth dmg bonus removed) WTF ZOS ? ? ? It is like not allowing sorcerer to summon pets or removing templar's healing bonus... Please ZOS... stop favouring one particular class ffs...


From PTS:
Sneak attacks no longer grant a bonus to Critical Damage when used against other players. Sneak attacks will continue to guarantee a Critical Strike and stun the target, and will also still grant a bonus to Critical Damage when used against monsters.

Developer Comments:

Even though Sneak attacks currently have a lower Critical Damage bonus against players than against monsters, they still allow you to burst another player down in a matter of seconds without granting them enough time to react. Removing the Critical Damage bonus against players grants victims of sneak attacks more counterplay.

So They completely destroyed stealth dmg in cyrodill PvP while leaving sorcerer Streak, Haunting Curse and Conjured Ward shield stacking unchanged ? ? ? How on earth did ZOS designed NB to be a glass cannon stealth based dmg class. That is the whole point of assassin class. To deal a lot of dmg in short time so your enemy won't have a chance to react. And if you did not succeeded and your target had a chance to react - then you are dead... and now it is just like saying:
You invested your time & money to create and level up an assassin NB. F**K YOU. You can no longer use this play style !

btw. How did it get the attention of the ZOS ? ? IS this really that a big deal ? NB gankers ?
FFs most of the time I am killed out of nowhere in PvP by mag sorcerers... stun, Haunting Curse spam, 2 - 4 explosions and I am dead. And most of the time I am killed by a stealth ganker - it is a stam sorcerer not a NB.. Yes pretty much - if a NB attacks me from stealth I usually have a chance to react. Paradoxically - non NB are already better at stealth ganking than NB.... WTF ZOS ? ? ? Did your developer balancing team actually played in PvP at lest once ? ? ? Did they ? Did they saw what Introducing desto-ult did to PvP ? ? Did they saw how tanky full dps sorcerer builds are ? ? Did they ever saw a infinity shield stacking sorcerer ? NO ? well then I suggest to actually see what is going on on the live PvP servers before balancing it ffs ! ! !

Sorry for the long post. I am tired. My main character is NB (created long time ago when game was using subscription model, before B2P model). I started to play PvP just to unlock skill points. I slowly adapted gear & skill to stealthy ganker / bow play style. And now - it is all wasted just because some as*-head in ZOS balancing department hates NB and is fauvoring sorcerer. F**k this !

CP changes are very good but the heavy nerf bat to templar skill unique to them is a bit hard.

"Everyone is leaving" = 99.9% of the player base will return and Morrowind will attract new players but since Deltia threw a fit and some forumors overreacted to scare all of their non forum friends into thinking the sky is falling then EVERYBODY PANIC!!

That, right there, is the problem with everything ZOS does regarding so-called balance. It's all about PVP. According to @ZOS_GinaBruno, ZOS is committed "100%" to not separating PVP and PVE balancing. Well earth to PVP players and ZOS...this game is not all about PVP. Everything about PVP and PVE is different: play styles, gear, objectives, balance requirements...everything.

To balance the game for PVP is to totally screw PVE players, and ZOS has done this time and time again.

A couple of years ago, there was a lot of complaining about having to level up to v160, so ZOS created the CP system. It was supposed to be a better way to level characters. Those of us who pointed out the flaws in this line of reasoning were dismissed as "whiners." Now many people want the CP system abandoned, or if not abandoned then radically changed from its original purpose. The nerfs this go round are so severe that they completely penalize PVE players who have been in the game the longest. PVP gets their shiny new low sustain toy to play with, and the new/newer players will feel strong until they level above that mysterious, magic point when what used to be a buff for them suddenly becomes a nerf due to all the things now based off character level.

So OP, the answer to your question is that it isn't only the CP changes that are "insane." It's the whole massive game-rejiggering mess that's nuts.
