Q: Level Cap Raised and iLevels.

[Nephera]

Is there anyone else here who doesn't necessarily want a level cap increase? I'd rather our characters grow more horizontally in the future, at least for a while before they do increase the level cap. It would be a shame and a waste to release an expansion, raise the level cap, and immediately trivialize the old level 50 content. All for what, bigger numbers? Who cares about that?

the case for lateral progression has been made in the past but it's mostly been drowned out by "I want to level more,because bigger numbers"

I suspect that there will be:

• Two new tiers of white crafted with level requirements between level 51 to 55 and 56 and 60 made with mats from level 50 and 60 gathering nodes found in new areas.
• New level 55 and 60 1 Star and 2 Star greens with ilevels of i90 and higher.
• One or two new blue gear tiers with level requirements of 60 and the highest ilevel until the expansion's first patch.
