EVERY PATCH HAS BEEN LIKE THIS.

We want MORE than ONE thing to run.
You know this also means a significant increase of time between patches, right? As in a minimum of 6 months per patch. Do you seriously think 6 months of doing the same content will keep you (and the majority of players) interested time and time again? Most of us are your stereotypical ADHD player. We need new things constantly to keep us interested.

Something to also note is that we do have horizontal progression, ESPECIALLY with the faceroll that is Diadem. We always had the endgame raid tier (Coil/AS/tomes) and the casual tier (24-man/Diadem/tomes), where the difference was mostly in the ilvl. With Diadem, we actually have another means to acquire the same ilvl of gear.

When it comes to horizontal progression, you need gear with a variety of stats to spread out. We don't have that here. Outside of tanks gearing for STR or VIT, we only have stats that you want for every single occasion of your role. That's all. With that said, the "progression" in "horizontal progression" is not a statement on the content to obtain said gear. It's a statement on the equipment in general. Two different subjects. In the current situation, it's just more fitting to say that they should release the content in the order of the ilvl (24man before Savage tier) or, as you said, together. The latter however is just a matter of whether or not you're willing to wait. Still not accurate to say we have no horizontal progression though.
