Should the Gear CP Cap be raised from CP160? Should Gear have Level Requirements?

Raising the Gear Cap would allow end-game players the opportunity for further vertical progression (Raise the Ceiling). Keeping the Gear Cap would keep the Vertical Progression Limit where it currently is. Removing Gear Levels Would Raise the Floor.

    Again with the polls and the threads. Can you just chill, this is what the 3rd Level requirement gear thread you've done today?

    There should be progession, it's an MMO.

    No with how grindy and how bad the RNG became for gear, unless there was an easy and cheap way tp upgrade current gear to the next tier then a lot of end game people would just quit.

    You really think people would like to re grind gear they've already grinded for again?

    Dozen hours grinding normal dungeons for lich/ viper/ rattle etc...

    Dozens of grinds in MSA/DSA

    Dozens in trials farming those sharp staffs etc...

    Just no.



    Also nice attempt to bring another no level thread but put it in the form on another question.

    You know this will never happen right?

    Zos are following the route of make 95% so easy that casual players can complete it with their eyes closed. If your want a challenge to go do high end pve without your max cp. Try solo world bosses on a weird hybrid build or something. The games open world pve used to be quite hard you've missed that already they won't go back.

    The wrath of Akatosh should fall over your shoulders for even suggesting such a thing. ZOS knows that if they ever raise the CP gear again they would experience a mass exodus from ESO. And people are just looking for a good reason to try out fresh new MMOs coming out this days...

    Everyone who voted no has already done their grinding, including stuff like VMA. Its literally pointless to re grind the same thing.

    Quick fix what? Theres nothing broken, take my advice and go run around without cp, because what your asking for will never happen. That ship sailed a long time ago.

    Have you done vet maw hard mode? Or the new vet trail hard mode? Have you got the achievements for them?

    Or have you just done some basic open world pve and believe your mastered pve?

    Give pvp a try, it's a lot harder than pve because you can't have pre knowledge or a scripted fight and players are a lot better than mobs.

    No ones going to care if you don't play.

    Of course people who have worked for their gear are going to complain, it takes a long time to get good enough gear to do the actual challenging content in the game.

    But hey i'm sure after completing the main pve you've got all you need from the game in terms of pve. If you want insanity go pug run vet maw.

    Also I bet 99% of all grinders are on this forum downvoting such threads as this.

    Most players I talk too hate the 160 cap and they ain't on this forum so take that into account.

    But wouldn't increasing the Gear CP level actually be better for those players that have all the stuff? Give them reason to redo content, and make the game less stale for them? If you want to keep the Gear CP the same as it is, why have CP160 gear at all? Why not just have the grind for the gear be the only gate? Why Include a Grind to get to the Level needed to actually Grind for your Gear?

    No one enjoys grinding gear, its more of a chore. The content will still be stale the only difference is that they'll be forced to grind gear they've already grinded once for no actual reason apart from a slight increase in stats. Whats the point? That'll kill the game off completely for most end game people.

    We have cp 160 gear because of progression, cp 160 is the end game gear and we're lucky its reachable so easily. Despite it being end game gear its not end game level.Its a mmo you don't just get max gear or max characters you have to work towards it. Why are you looking at getting to cp160 as a grind, its just progression as you play the game when your new.

    If you want a game without grinding, where everything is unlocked straight away then MOBA's are for you.

    You realize grinding gear is a mean to an end right? With that end being PVP, TRIALS (where ppl demands 25k+ dps to accept u on groups), also allowing to even try out new setups cause you're already be owning a good amount of sets. You can also focus on stuffs like crafting, housing, fishing without the obligation of running every day pledges and dealing with the inglorious RNG this game has.

    Raising the gear cap would not allow for any vertical progression due to scaling. It would be entirely pointless.

    Once you reach the new cap, everything is the same as it was at the old cap. You didn't get stronger. Your damage didn't go up. Your resistance didn't go up. That's how scaling works.

    So, you want gear to be included in level progression, but you don't want it to be included in end-game level progression?

    This is the thing: If I get a cool set that works well on a sorc, but I don't have a sorc, In order to test this gear I've got to create a new character and grind to level 50. So, testing this small thing well, just this gear, means I have to create a whole new character.

    Do you think this is easily done by people who have little time? Is this a good business model for Zenimax?

    Grinding isn't fun. People do it so they can start running actual endgame content.

    Forcing people to replay repetitive content would just cause a large exodus of players from the game. That's just about the only thing that would make me quit.

    You don't have to do anything.

    If your pick up a piece of gear that doesn't work well with your character you don't use it. Its that simple, if its rare you bank it on the off chance you find a use for it in the future.

    Why would you test something you have no current use for.

    So you'd prefer it to be more on rails? (I am this, therefore this is all I'll do)

    If you max a character and start another, are you not annoyed that in order to try a new approach you have to re-grind (1-50) in order to be able to grind yet again (getting the gear)?

    Thats what you sign up for when you play an MMO.

    If you want another character you've got to put the same amount of work in to get it end game like your previous.

    Its boring and annoying but i've done it 8 times, 9 soon. Its just part of the game.

    But there won't be any new gear.

    Whats your literally suggesting is that raise gear therefore increasing its stats which you would then need to get to kill the harder mobs.

    So you'd regrind your gear, again, in order to get the higher gear in order to kill the higher mobs and be in the exact same position as you are in now. You''d have higher stats, mobs would be harder, nothing will change.

    Contradicting yourself in a post isn't a good way to follow up your definition of insanity. Are you even reading what your typing?

    Expecting things to change = Hoping ZM actually listens for once and raises level.

    So I ain't contradicting myself at all pal lets not start fighting now ok.
