Of course you miss the obvious, the most skilled players will have the most CP, there is a relationship. Also CP does in fact make you stronger otherwise no one would be making such a fuss about it, there would be no power creep if what you said was true.
The number of high skilled players with no CP is very small indeed so what exactly is your point?
You could have the best CP setup in the world and the best build in the world but if you don't know how to use any of it none of it matters and a cp300 player that knows what they are doing can easily destroy you.
I've seen it many times happen from people who make second accounts just to go around making CP capped PvPers salty
Extremes do not make for a good argument, of course everything you stated is true but it is a case of special pleading. Fact is the generic ESO player with max CP is more likely to be skilled than the player with No CP or low CP. In general they will have had more playetime, ergo more expereince, ergo more likely to have learned about thier class.
By the way, in your argument about alt accounts you neglect the fact that they have indeed already earned a ton of CP, they just chose to play a low level character to hide it. This actually supports my argument, not yours.
Why does it matter if someone has earned a lot of CP on another account? The point is that on the alt they don't have any of that and can still play just was well.
Becuase they learned to play... they earned CP as they did so in fact they are high CP players just on an account with low CP. I stated earlier high CP is a relationship to skill, they have skill and they have an account with high CP, they are chosing to play an account with low CP. So you can not try to imply in your current argument that a player with no CP ( meaning they have not earned any, implying that have not played much) are likely to be just as skilled as a high CP player.
High CP has nothing to do with skill my dude. Skill differs from person to person and someone that wants to get better at the game will get better at the game even if they aren't CP capped and will easily out perform casual players.
Just go to Cyrodiil today and you'll see zergs of CP capped players running around like mindless blobs chasing around 1 person, those people choose not to get better. In the duelling PvP communities tho you'll see plenty of new 400cp players that are actively trying to get better by the day and manage to kill the majority of players.
Although yes a skilled CP capped player will kill a skilled low CP capped player that is a given
but that doesn't mean CP makes you better neither does game time If all you do in the game is PvE and Cyrodiil zerging
Stop being so obtuse. You achieved skill in this game by playing it, most likely alot. As you played you earned CP again you probably have a good amount. It is a simple premise, a person with high CP is more likely to be skilled. That is all I am saying. Yet you argue otherwise?
Please do so then, tell me how a person achieves high skill without a good amount of playtime and not earn CP?

The slight CP increase every 3 months is a pretty sad reason to play.
Granted, man have cleared the latest arena on vet and all the vet trials but we will get a new vet trial, a real trial, and probably an arena type addition so you will have more achievements to work on.

My experience in this situation is far more important to me (as a long time RP gamer - since the pen and paper games in the mid-70s) than your need to progress to ever higher levels.
However, I do have to say that I really prefer the WoW and RIFT version of progression, which is higher levels rather than some totally abstruse thing like CP. I can always get my mind around levels. So far, CP is leaving me saying "LOLWUT???"
Nothing about vertical progression effects the rp story of this game. At all. The game is painfully easy.
It's not "painfully easy" for me. I have at minimum 2000 ms lag. That means NOTHING is easy.
Yeah, I understand that my connection means I'm at a disadvantage - however, when I quit WoW in 2013 (using the same connect I have now, though now my speed is about twice what it was then), I didn't have the issues there that I have in this game.
It's a bummer. I LOVE TES. And truthfully I love ESO. But this game stresses the only connection I have, to the point where nothing is easy.
You want to see how "not easy" it is for me? Be happy to have you drop by sometime. You might want to wait until June or July.... and I don't have AC so you might not be real comfortable. But I can get you a hotel room an 80 mile round trip from my house. Or if you want to see some really great stage performances (Shakespeare or modern playwrights) you can stay the 140 mile round trip.
I'll feed you well. And you can watch me deal with satellite lag in the back of beyond.
Now, I do have to say - I deal with the lag because I love the game. But everyone just blows off those of us with marginal situations/connections - who love the game and do our best to play anyway. Not to mention that I more than pay my way (just me, don't know about everyone else).
As for vert progression - I actually have always preferred that. Then again, I don't have an optimal game situation, so perhaps if I did, that horizontal progression might be fine. Somehow.... considering all the games I've played since 1985.... I kind of think my personal answer there is "nope".

Yes they are given advice and knowledge that casual players don't have so they'll turn that advice to skill through duelling and eventually they'll master their class. That's whats gonna happen to someone who actively tries to get better at the game and wants to be skillful
If you compare a casual player that plays the game everyday but has no idea about game mechanics other than PvE rotations is CP capped and tries to PvP then obviously the player who was coached is more skillful.
30 more cp is progression to you?
Most of us are way beyond the cap already lol no point to keep increasing it
Soundles1990 wrote: »Well then dont increase the CP Cap but i need something else to get my character stronger!
Ever try to get that new gear? Ever try to beat that tough new content? There’s more to progression than levels. And if you’ve invested much into this game, you’re probably past or near the next cap anyway, which means you aren’t progressing in levels regardless.

Again with the special pleading. A Special case can alwys be made as the exception and I have not argued against the exception.
It is simple. Randomly pick 24 CP capped players and pit them pvp against 24 randomly selected level 50 no CP players. Tell me what do you expect the outcome will be?

All you care about is level progression in a game that focuses heavily on story and exploration?
There is another name for that type of entertainment, it is a bit arcane so maybe you have not heard of it.
It is called a book. They are much cheaper than ESO and for storytelling most tend to be far superior.

Power creep is a real thing, it is also a life thing.
Power creep needs to occur in a healthy game, the issue really is how much, not that it exists. The trick is to keep vert prog and minimize power creep WHILE at the same time allowing older content to become trivial to the player that has progressed.
Basically you mimick life without the hassles or lifetime effort required to master a skill. That is what makes a game fun for most and continually engaging.

It is the very definition of progression. Now as to the quality well that is another subject, but it is indeed a form of progression.
A single piece of BiS gear is arguably even less a form of progression but yet people here seem to like that better than CP.
Then we have those who argue the storytelliing is a form of progression, how is that better?
too much CP - game is too easy, make it harder. fix the power creep! Zos says, no more CP increases and we are reevaluating powercreep - no, i want my character to keep getting stronger, what the heck ZoS
which one is it????
personaly I'm glad they are not increasing CP anymore, this was starting to get ridiculous. I'm hoping instead for possibly new skill lines etc to chase down.
