    There seems to be the misunderstanding in this thread that horizontal progression just means more ways to get the same ilevel of gear.

    It's not. We still have pure vertical progression in XIV. 3 ways to get iLevel 210 gear is still just iLevel 210 gear that will be pointless next patch cycle.

    Horizontal progression would be having no single BiS for all situations, focusing instead on having multiple equipment sets that vary by situation. It would stay at that same iLevel for longer, expanding horizontally in side stat options, rather than up and up in strength.

    I'm on the belief that TERA balances vertical and horizontal progression in a way that would suit XIV well, with their more complex materia-like armor additions and the ability to specify sub traits on weapons/armor.
