That said, i know a full horizontal system can't work in this game and with this generation of gamers, and hybrid or diagonal model based on choices (illusion or not), upgrades, and new ilvl every 6 months-1 year, of course this requires the addition of not overpowered specialized stats, without these horizontal progression can not exist.
