Give us CP!

[Urthdigger]

Ok, so it's nice that it's now easier than ever to get allied notes and imperial standing (especially with the new post on beseiged). However, CP still remains the hardest alternate currency to obtain. Can we possibly get an increase to CP? I have a few suggestions how:

1: Uncap Expeditionary Force and remove the party size limit, and increase the CP reward if you win.

2: Uncap Garrison and increase the CP reward for success (I believe you currently get CP for winning...)

3: Allow FoV and GoV to give CP equivalent to their xp when you finish a page (So, if a page gives 2000 xp, it'd give 200 CP, or 3000 in a place owned by another nation or beastmen, or 3200 with Moghancement: Conquest (Or the variation for your nation))

Really, is there any reason to keep CP as restricted as it is?

I agree with 1 and 2. If they implemented 3, nobody would level outside of a dungeon again.. so no thanks to 3.

People aren't going to leave abyssea JUST to get some CP...

So you want new players to go from ronfaure/gustaberg/saruta to book burning to abyssea? I dont even know why I came back to this game lol... oh yeah because ffxiv is a mess..

I don't feel the game is about Exping. Its about endgame content. The Game should not be the grind. Exp is not what makes a game fun, its the big bosses, and endgame battles.

The way i see it, SE is simply making it easier for new players and old to experience endgame. Judging someone based on the way they get exp is just digging for an excuse to hate someone.

So much hatred.

hmmm....never had any issues getting CP in the past. Maybe it's because I'm from Bastok, who rarely ever owned the zones I was xp'ing in....who knows. I would expect it comes in fairly steady now if you are doing xp parties now that the rate is doubled since it is bound to the xp you earn--if you're soloing or low-manning and have a low xp/hr rate, I guess that is what holds people back now though.

Conquest Rankings might be something for you to look into for now. If your camp is owned by your nation, you get no bonus to CP per kill, so you are only getting 10% of your XP back as CP (20 CP from an EM). But if it's not owned by your nation, you get a 1.5x multiplier (30 CP from an EM). So, the trick is to be in a region not controlled by your nation, keeping Signet up, and slaughtering EM+ mobs for chain 5's to keep the CP flowing I guess with the way things currently stand...the catch is getting together the traditional xp party these days. /meh

There are also some Moghancement: Conquest furniture pieces that can raise it a 1.6 multiplier in an uncontrolled region if you have them (32 CP from an EM). Every little bit helps.

I won't lie, judging by the title of thread, I was expecting something else entirely...

Abyssea exists yet people are still using other means for exp. Your outlook is a bit doomy. I haven't seen a shortage of players in Cape post GoV release, for example. But I suppose it always was the most crowded of FoV spots...

No one is ever going to leave Abyssea exp until a rep for it exists, and it should be obvious by now it's not going to happen in any existing areas, only alternatives. If they raise exp much higher at this rate we might as well start off with new characters already level capped to save us the trouble. Anyways, I fail to see what this point has to do with the OP unless there was an edit at some point. Pretty sure it's about throwing us some more CP and not about getting people out of Abyssea.

Compare CP to IS and AN. You can get thousands of IS and AN easily by doing beseiged and campaign, respectively, and can do the secondary elements to campaign (Rescuing prisoners, shattering mirrors, reclaiming the candescence...) for thousands more now. There's also campaign ops for some quick and dirty allied notes. But nothing of the sort really exists for CP: Both Expeditionary Force and Garrison are level capped, and with few reasons to do them. And those are the only sources of CP outside of experience. Really, CP is more "Expensive" than the other two by a longshot.
