Add on a couple more expansions depending on the era. Point is even with a new EXPANSION AND LEVEL CAP. The previous expansion's raids still provided superior gear to the new expansion's group gear. What did this mean?

It meant the casual/low tier raiders could raid content they were unable to beat at 50 at level 60 bringing the new spells/stats that come along with that and STILL GAIN MEANINGFUL PROGRESSION.
Okay, this is much more interesting than arguing arbitrary definitions.

You said EQ was vertical progression still. Based on your chart above, does that mean that for someone who'd been raiding the 130 content before the expansion, some of the expansion content (the 60 and 100 content listed above) would be irrelevant for them even when the expansion first launched?
