If they leave the cap at 50 doesn't mean they won't be adding new content. It just gives more people the opportunity to reach 50 as different classes and experience that same content. Plus, as developers, it is probably easier to create new challenging content when you are familiar with what the user has available (in terms of being familiar with all the classes and their capabilities).
