Rank cap increase every 1-2 years discussion thread

Yes. EVE-Online have stumped economy because there is no levels. Heck there is even no new materials every expansion. Now what they did they are just adding new recipes, that are much harder to make, and people must think how to make them.
I cloud stress word THINK.. Here..

This doesn't solve the fact that having a higher ranked crafting class is basically worthless. Just because you add a new recipe in doesn't resolve the need for progression. So you want your OLD armor/weapons to stay relevant, but want to add in new recipes that doesn't negate those OLD weapons/armors? Why craft them? One way or another you negate older content. Vertical Progression keeps all classes growing, keeps new abilities, new strategies, new things coming.

Horizontal there are limits, and if you are too narrow minded to see this, that is sad.

Here's a list of things that were relevant to me at one arbitrary point of my time playing ffxi.

-sky
-sea
-limbus
-dynamis
-salvage
-nyzul
-znm
-big 3
-einherjar
-many other world nms
-storyline
-campaign

that's 12 things having to do with nm raiding in a group, these things were all useful to me simultaneously and continuously having 3~6 classes just because I already have a body armor doesn't mean I wouldn't do better lullabys in another body armor or be a better tank in a certain set up etc. Idk if you can but I cannot think of another mmo with more than 10 different type of raid oriented loot seeking events continuously in use for such a period and I have played a bit.
