    I am sure there was many posts about how this game was designed and that there would be very little vertical progression. If you don't want a L10 ego being able to kill a L5000 ego player, then I think you have picked the wrong game.

    it's really a shame too. I look at Everquest, 13-14 years now? There is more content in the zones people don't visit any more, than are in most games. Some of those zones were amazing back in the day, and go almost completely ignored now, it's kind of depressing. I said this in another thread, but I would love to see what they could do with a lot of those outdated zones if the implemented the horizontal progression model. They made an attempt in Everquest, with "spirit shrouding", to turn you into lower level character or monster, to revisit those levels, but it didn't catch on.
    Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
    Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
    Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
    Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.

    he's saying if you can't see the subtle progression at all, you'll miss many such subtleties in life, or, that if you feel that the only reward is getting something better, you may also miss out on many other rewards in life

    There are some weapons that simply don't seem to show up at lower Ego ratings. Mass Launchers didn't show up till I was 500+, Swarm Rebounder Launchers until I was 1000+.

    Gear progression is a way of gating content. Gating content is something Trion did not want to do.
    This.

    Can people please stop saying "there's no reason not to do it in PvE" when this reason has been given multiple times now.
