Stop Raising Item Level and build foundation with Horizontal Progression first

[Vaer]

Great now tell us what this horizontal progression is. It just seems to be a buzz word people like to spew these days.

Simple.

Same ilvl, different stats. Can even be cosmetic things like different animations, looks, etc.

A good example already in the game are the EX primal accessories in 2.1. i90 just like the myth accessories and coil accessories, but had different secondaries.

Ramuh is horizontal progression, i100 weapon, i100 ring, different stats. So is the ST i100 gear. Except barely anyone cares about that gear so I'm not sure this would actually work anyway.

Anyways, Ramuh and ST would be horizontal progression if there was no i110.

It basically preserves content for longer as all the gear is "relevant" for longer than vertical which is just increasing stats on gear.
