Benefits:

- Having to level up and feeling you can become stronger. As an ilvl 90 Black Mage with really good dps, I sometimes dislike playing as BLM. I use the same two rotations over and over and there is no room for growth. I'll be relieved when they raise the level cap. It will give me something new to do with my BLM and allow me to become stronger. Higher ilvl gear does that, too, but leveling up means I get new gear AND more stats from leveling up.

- More difficult content. As of now, the content being released can be done by anybody with a decent ilvl. If they increase the level cap, they have to add content to go along with it. So when they raise the cap and release content for that cap, it's going to offer that "omg i have to level to do this content" feeling...which I like. I sucks when new content is out and I can beat it within an hour because I'm too overpowered. And for this, I HOPE it takes a really long time to hit level cap when they increase the cap.

- New skills/traits! They may offer a different way to play with your favorite job.

- Yoshida said he will increase the level cap when he adds a new class. So if he sticks by those words, then we'll have a new class to play with as well.

- Potentially new job quests. I enjoyed doing job quests and it doesn't seem like we'll get new ones till they raise the level cap. I'm curious to see what will be added if they decide on adding more.
