Gear progression

When the champion system arives with patch6, and the veteran zone difference dissapear, how much gear progression will there be?   will there still be some vertical gear progression, or will it be a horizontal progression with people continously in nead of new gear because of their everchanging specs...

 

In my ideal world a great game has atleast these 3 major kinds of progression, Character (skills), Story and Gear.. the first 2 seem to better covered then in any other MMO.... but with the removal of continously leveling, what is going to happen to gear progression?

    Gear style progression is great, but power progression destroys games. the last thing eso needs to do Is to turn into a game where it's all about doing the latest raid/instanc over and over. In saying that investment in things like the justice system suggests the devs have an eye on the ball.

    rpg/mmorg history: Dun Darach>Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW > oblivion > LOTR > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(1000 elementalist), Wildstar

    Now playing GW2, AOW 3, ESO, LOTR, Elite D

    ESO and update 6 have sparked my interest again. Im wondering as well if gear progression is going to be meaningful. I'm not looking for massive power creep (WoW) but definitely more than GW2 offered.

    It was allready there mate, the veteran rank system was the eternal gear progression, with another rank atleast every 2 months..

     

    it will be killed with update 6, no more veteran ranks, and so no more gear progression, or will there be an ilvl type of gear progresiion?
