Who doesn't want new content every 6 months?
Horizontal growth leads to more complaints than vertical growth. As you increase the ranks, you make the lower ranks easier to get up there, reducing some of the lower ranks EXP needed per rank/level. This keeps new players in the game and able to catch up, and also keep the old players in the game exploring the new areas and items.
I disagree that it's the best decision that they can make. And quickly, @Kam, type of player doesn't necessarily make all of our opinions set in stone, I myself have quite a few 50s, and as you can see by my original post, I'd like a constant level cap. In any case, back to the subject at hand:

New content every 6 months would be wonderful. New areas and items would also be wonderful. A level cap raise is not necessary for any of these things.

Fresh content is great, but you don't need to throw out the old content to make it substantial and worth doing. I'm not sure how FFXI could have gotten stale or stagnant for you, personally, there was so much for me to do in XI that I had fun with, I actually regret not doing everything. But everyone's different, so I'm sure it could have gotten stale for some.

While I respect your opinion, I disagree :P
