More Horizontal Progression please

I'd really be wary of this due to my experience with FFXI. So many endgame events... and you were REQUIRED to do ALL of them EVERY WEEK because each one had one or two items you were REQUIRED to have, and even once you had them you couldn't just ditch your LS without being a total dick.

Why not mention a good game?

I mean, Yoshi didn't take ideas from FFXI. There are games with both Horizontal and Vertical Progession. WoW has some of that, EQ2 had a lot of it.

I was specifically mentioning it as a cautionary tale, a path I do not wish them to go down. I don't mind some horizontal progression (Like people debating over what combination of CT, coil, and tomestone gear was truly best in slot), but things should be done under the assumption that the playerbase will require players to do all the current endgame available, and drop rates should be high enough that you're not stuck paying a debt to all the months of work people gave so you could have a drop.

So many endgame events...

There's the issue right there. This game is lacking in credible content now.

With FFXI ( only one I can compare ) the story that got you to the endgame was epic, you felt like you were working towards something. CoP is / was miles ahead on anything that FF14 has produced. When you got to the end what happened? We had variety.

i did COP x3 fully , once in my static took weeks and we wiped like mad but the most fun experience i remember in a mmorpg ! , once helping a friend later on, and once again duo NIN + SCH with my gf (we were lvl 90ish so was a cakewalk ) , and if u tell go do it it again....i will! , lvl 75 cap of course , and keeping actual homepoint teleports , traveling was the worst part of COP...

too bad my old HDD broke ...the amount of screenshots i had :_(
