Benefits Of Increasing Level Cap?

We already have ilvl 95 gear in the game... they would have to significantly raise the level cap in order to offer a substantial amount of new gear and choices. Unless of course, we continue forward and get to the point where we have lvl 70 characters with item level 500 gear. Which is kind of silly.

ilevel and character level are 2 different things. and of course they could just resort to lowering the ilevel increments

Item level and physical level are 2 different things. For example in wow their lvl cap is 90 but the item level of the current gear is around 550. In FFXIV the new level cap could be 60 and ilvl could start at 200 for lv60 gear
