Then after 8-10 months of sidegrades you would have pushed for an update event that would have introduced vertical gear progress to ilvl 110 gear, either by introducing a new event or by makeing old gear event upgradeable. Now fill the following 8-10 months again with sidegrade upgrades on different fields that were left out.

Thats how I could see vertical gear progression work, however at the current rate we have of like outdateing everything every 1-2 months, everything is flushed down the toilet via a mindnumbing giant mega-depression.

What I meant by Horizontal gear progression wont work either is: fucking e.body staying on top in FFXI for 8 years+, like for real? shit like that should have had never happened and it should have gotten bombed when salvage was introduced (e.body is just an example, there are more such occasions)
E body was only considered top tier solely because of those augments you could put on it, that is what sustained it at the top. Mostly because it gave players an extension on their e-penis so they continue to flaunt that accursed thing, but not anymore...the Armadaburk has been reduced to nothing more than a vanity piece.
