If they went another route and increased the hate cap only for specific jobs, it would also be a large contributor to a collapse of game balance, so they do not have any plans of doing this.

Unfortunately, raising the hate cap is really not a proper means of solving this hard to solve problem. As a general direction, the development team will be focused on making adjustments so that each job can properly play their role. Ex: tanks can tank, healers can heal, etc.

PLD is currently a useless job, without some way to hold hate against hate capped melees it may as well just be deleted from the game because no situation currently exists where you should ever bring a PLD over something else. Having a PLD in your party is quite literally a waste of a party slot.
