Again with the FFXI argument, shall we drop it? They said they wouldn't pursue it since inception since they tried that mindset with 1.0 and it didn't work.
And don't tell me 1.0 wasn't like FFXI at all, because they said they used the same mindset when they created 1.0 so It's no my word it's the devs words on it

I get that ppl like horizzontal progression, but it won't happen and quite frankly the market is not really built to support that anymore.
