This post makes me think cap will be raised in 1.21 to accommodate new mats like darksteel and gold.

Banking on 2.01 o u c wut i did thar!?

In any case if they wern't going to do the level cap+ with an xpac I'd bet on 1.24 or 1.25 (or whatever patch the map redesign comes in).

1.21 = jobs
1.22 = job balancing (why would they do level raise on patch to balance jobs)
1.23 = content for balanced jobs
1.24 = first spot where level cap would make sense

Also as stated before L51-60 recipes are SYNTHABLE at levels 41-50. Honestly they should have had L51-60 recipes craftable in game at release because anyone thats gotten a crafting job to 50 knows how incredibly tedious it is crafting L46-50 off bad SP. Example, at L40 is possible to get 33-40k per hour, but at L49 the most I even ended up with was maybe 18-22k /hr.

This is basically for leveling up purposes, so you can gain 600-800 SP per synth all the way to 50. It does NOT mean an indication of level increase. Oh and just because the synth level is 51 doesn't mean the item it makes is 51 .... sigh!
