No they learned and learned well. They didn't try to stifle progress by making everything difficulty, gear, etc set to the level cap bar like in XI. Furthermore we've known for months that there would be a level increase eventually, and they didn't screw over years of progress by holding onto that methodology and throwing in the level cap increase after 8+ years of vehemently saying they'd never do it like in XI.

Even if they increase the level cap tomorrow to 60, i70+ gear will still be relevant we'll just have more options and opportunities to get more gear within those 50-60 ranges.

I'm not saying everyone should agree with my point of view, but the situation this time around is completely different than what happened in FFXI.
