Poll: Gear progression, horizontal or vertical?

[Gilthas]

So basicly your saying that Gear > Skill?

*rolls eyes*

BiS means that said piece of gear is the best gear for that slot. It has zero to do with player skill. Not sure why this concept is so hard for people to understand.

In a perfect world, Horizontal progression would mean that you had several options to reach the same peak performance. In reality there is always a best set for everything.

I worry about how quickly content has atrophied - this is a problem that will continue to effect the game for it's entire life cycle. Depth is important.

There's always two sides of that story. Yes, content in FFXI was relevant far longer than it is in FFXIV, but do we really want to go back to doing Dynamis/Kings for years? This is more an issue for new players than it is for the old ones. I for one would be happy to never see Garuda Ex ever again.
