Open World Content and Horizontal Progression

[Anienai]

1. Bosses are immune or take less dmg from ws after 3 or 4 rotations.
2. Healers lose MND during a boss fight.
3. DPS lose their primary stat during a period of time.
4. Random boss mechanics.
5. More one shot mechanics.
6. Bosses are less likely to drop loot if the same 8 (or w/e) kill the boss.
7. Epic soundtrack for Boss fights.
8. Crafting is kinda worthless so address it.
9. When blacklisting my name appears a different color so the person blacklisted knows.

HOrizontal progression is great but I don't think they should be dumping resources into it with an actual level cap increase in the not too distant future. Silly to create a plateau when the cap is going to increase. It would be like if they had made a crapload of horizontal progression at Level 50 in FFXI. Wait until we hit a level we'll sit at for a while.

However, with horizontal progression (if done correctly), there is a good possibility that your gear may still be useful even after a level cap increase.
