The current formula of gear progression NEED CHANGE

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Biggest con imo of horizontal progression is as people want gear to last year's, well, it'll take possibly years to obtain.

I've heard stories of people in xi going years without seeing the piece they need for their job.

People in xiv don't like rng, yet it seems to me that's the only way to make horizontal progression work, otherwise you could be gear for the next 6 expansions already.

If gear is going to last for ages, they need to make it equally time consuming to get, or again, you'd have no reason to do content. There's a post on here complaining about the small amount of rng we have in alliance and normal raids. A horizontal progression system would make that rng many times worse. People always seem to think you can have one without the other for some reason.
