    The success of the ultimate horizontal gear progression game: Monster Hunter series would beg to differ.

    Vertical progression (aka 'Power Creep') leads to boring gear stats, worthless rewards, and a perpetual endgame treadmill. -- all of which FFXIV currently suffers from. (This direction could actually be changed in one patch if Yoshi P gave the order...)

    When enough people realize that no matter how much work they put into something, it'll be obsolete in 3 months -- they'll either become casual players, or they'll to look for another game with more lasting rewards. **cough, Dark Souls II, cough**
