He has talked about the possibility of horizontal progression. Whether it would actually happen is hard to say, especially now, because we are at a crossroads where they are going to create a new overarching story for 7.0 and with it comes the question, do we continue to level 100, 110, 120, get a level squish, or stop bothering with concepts like leveling and come up with a different idea for progression.

I would say that is risky and probably not worth doing unless it is a solid and proven idea and that is probably the conclusion most people in his position would arrive at.
