More Horizontal Progression please

[Windklinge]

you just pointed out why max level raises are bad. on wow aswell. BECAUSE IT DOESNT TAKE LONG. its not content at all. its just a very tiny amount of time to reach new max level but it destroys all content up to that point to obsoletness AND it wastes devtime with stuff thats only used for said small leveling period. and then all that matters is endgame again and endgame is back to ZERO with a raise which forces devs to add new content FAST but devs are never able to keep up with players clearing stuff so they should focus an expansion on max level content ONLY. this gives them some BREATHING time for adding new stuff or developing new stuff and systems for a mmo.

there is countless forms of how horizontal progression can look like. there is many good AND bad examples out there of it^^ it CAN go wrong if the devs dont have a clue about it (e.g. aion) :/ but if they get into it theyll quickly find out what was successful and what not.
