Entire dungeons and nm/hnm become obsolete over night. Crafting recipy's considered good, pre-update, are now obsolete and only the newest and greatest is ever made.

Really, raising level caps have bad effects on games, and should be done as a last resort. It is the developers essentially giving up. A prime example of this that most of us share is ffxi. It went for years, and years, without the need for raising the cap. And, by every measure, it was among the most successful mmo's in history. Now, post level cap increase, it is a shell of its former self.

A+++++

When we get to the point where we have NOTHING to do left... bring in FF online III!

5 years from now, graphics will be out of date anyway.
