First of all horizontal progression is an oxymoron. It doesn't exist.

I agree with everything in your post but this. Horizontal progression occurs when your ability to complete some content improves without automatically improving your ability to complete other content and basically increases the "width" of content you can access.

Currently we do have some slight Horizontal progression gear wise. There are two major bits of content with completely different gear needs Coil and PvP. BiS in one is not BiS in the other.

We kind of need more content with different gear needs in order to have true "horizontal progression."
