Not to mention it stayed at 75 for many years and expansions. RoZ, CoP, ToAU, WotG all had the same level cap from that first expansion. Honestly, I'd prefer this over a 5-10 level cap increase each expansion. Development-wise, this would ease the strain on future expansions to create harder content, and focus on more horizontal/interesting content. The game is doing a good job with horizontal options along with the vertical, so I'd like to see that trend continue. I would like to be able to continue comparing gear and deciding which ones fit a build better, as opposed to just looking at ilvl and assuming.
