They never assured, only mused that a Class/Job release would also release more levels. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore though. There was a mention that the next Level cap raise was with the actual expansion, but the first new Class/Job can still come before the expansion which isn't scheduled to be done until at least this winter based on the current time progression and a hint from the last live letter on how they see the speed of patches being done.
We could end up with a new Class and Job in 2.2 or 2.3 and then the new Race, Level Cap and another set of new Jobs/Classes in the expansion as well.
I don't believe there was confirmation to this either. It is currently the most supported rumor because of mentioning and hints in the last live letter I believe. Time will tell, but common sense would put a Level Cap with an Expansion as Expansions typically are new chapters in a game's story. They tend to add as much content as a brand new game does so a new level cap on expansion makes most sense. New Classes and Jobs before expansions or between expansions would play into better favor with the players though~
