Poll: Gear progression, horizontal or vertical?

Nobody is asking FFXIV to be a clone of another game. They just want high level content to stay relevant for more than 6 months. As player character strength increases the amount of meaningful content dries up. Sure we get new dungeons, trials, and raids but they just replace the previous additions.

You know, I also worry about content getting outdated, specially for new players.

But on the other hand, I also agree that it's much better to get new content to do every 3 months, than doing the same stuff for years due to lockouts/poor drop rates. Because that's how you keep the old stuff relevant.
