The level required for all red and blue tree passives and four slottables each is 1626. Reaching that felt more significant to me than 1500, when there are still stars left to take in both of those trees.

Now that I’m past that (currently 2193), while I’m happy to reach a new “free” slottable, I find I’m not driven to grind CP like I used to during xp events.

It's not rewarding to continue levelling, so I don't give a poop.

I'm motivated to level period. Hasn't anything to do with CP. I've got the CP I want to use on all but one character of many. Leveling is fun.

You forgot about armory being able to shift your CP build at a click, along with skills and sets without a gold cost. My opinion is armory made CP after 1400 or so totally irrelevant.

I don't see levelling as a goal in it's own right in games, it's just something to get past to be able to access more of the game. I stopped caring about CP when I got to 160 and could get a 'final' set of gear so I also didn't need to worry about that unless I wanted a different set or whatever.

I suppose I should pick whatever point I've got enough CP to fill all the stars, but I don't normally use CP so that's not relevant to me.

I'm on console so no add on to automatically swap stars, so its too annoying to change things. Obce I got the passives, there's no point.

I cared until 160 for gear cap and then never cared again. Even though having more slottable stars would be convenient, most I care about it is seeing it hit fun numbers.

I like seeing the numbers grow, even though I have no use for more CP.

The only grinding I do is keeping the Master Writs for when there's a double XP event, and then I'll pop one of those daily reward 150% scrolls and get the whole lot done.

like others noted, i feel very little "progression" cp wise at cp 2250, so much so i dont even bother burning xp scrolls and sometimes dont even bother with event double xp buffs as it just does nothing for me

on my 2nd acct being only like cp 600-700 the double xp event bonuses certainly help a ton

I stopped caring for the most part after I unlocked the Green Tree items I wanted which was at some point in the upper hundreds.

Missing out on the Green perks tends to be far more noticeable to me than the combat perks.

On my main account, I'm in the 2,330+ range now. I have plenty and don't always try to get more since that happens anyway. That said, I will take advantage of double xp events if I have a pile of master writs clogging up my inventory.

My other account is in the 1600+ range on pcna.

On pceu, both accounts are around 1200. I don't try to get the numbers up on those either. Double xp events are iffy for increasing the numbers as my EU accounts do not have enough motif knowledge to do all the master writs that are clogging up the inventory.

ZOS should have made an entire tree consisting of passives, which they could expand upon when expanding the CP 2.0 system to above 3600. The green tree would be perfect for this. This is assuming they keep the current system.

Right now, there is no reason to care about CP leveling at all. Once you have all the passives and four active skills in all trees, you're done. Which is about 1800-2000 CP tops. This current CP system also makes exp scrolls useless, I have never used one, and am above 2.5k CP already. This current CP system also greatly depreciates the time spend in game, and makes it so there isn't really a reason to log in and be active. Which is against everything an MMO should be.

Personally I feel the CP system should not have a limit, and should consist entirely of many small endless non-combat gameplay bonusses. Bonusses of 0.01% for something, which even with 1000's of points doesn't matter much. Examples: +0.01% exp from quests, +0.01% gold from quests, +0.01% chance to find a random set item from the zone you are in, -0.01% repair costs, +0.01% gold from chests, etc, etc. Bonusses that are small, but add up once you invest thousands of points in them. And thousands of points is quite a long playtime!

The current CP system is nowhere near good enough or enticing enough, in my opinion. (Sorry ZOS)

First, thank you for this question because I was wondering the same thing.

At around 1500 cp you realize that all the other cp are useless and it's pointless to keep playing.

They could remove the 4 cap bottleneck and make everything slot-able perhaps.

The storyline with all the quests, the housing and the infinite gold to be made can keep you going.

I hope not. If every perk was slottable, character diversity among those at high CP would probably be reduced.

Not going to kill myself to get there but still want to make some progress each day, so am doing one 150% XP potion a day of solo grinding normal black rose prison. I will probably put in more effort during double XP events though.

Hasn't changed the amount of time I spend in game each day since I am using the hour or so I would have been doing daily writs to do that hour of grinding still have a decent amount of gold in bank for the things I need and plenty of gold mats hoarded in case I want to upgrade or make any sets.

Don't really need any more CP for me it's just a case of less levels ahead of me then already done, may as well see it through at some point, even if it takes another 6 months or a year no rush.

I stopped assigning CP at some point. Because you can only slot 4, once you've chosen your 4 and have all the passives you want, there's no need to ever look at that screen again. For me, anyway.

Agreed. The only time I switch is when I go fishing.
