Beyond Level 100

[LanceSummers]

Vertical systems aren't perfect, given the inevitable problem that comes with out of control ever-higher numbers, but horizontal systems can quickly erode into "illusion of choice" which is why I don't consider them flawless either.

I don't see them further being able to further implement the vertical progression levelling system, button bloat is a major issue and the experience of how jobs play at lower levels needs to be considered. Frankly their only options are to stop the vertical progression system altogether and only do ilvl increases or add a horizontal progression system past level 100. I prefer the latter because it's something they can add onto later with each expansion, the former is an option but it doesn't feel like a good one.
