Level cap increase with HW?

[Aeyis]

The person specifically stated they're learned in Ishgard, not that they're gated behind the main story. I was correcting that.

The lala was quite clear. I only made it clearer for those that misunderstood. This isnt a pissing contest. OP asked a question, and the idea is to give an understandable answer.

Just by buying HW will that increase the level cap or do you need to get into Ishgard. Say as if you didn't finish the MSQ 2.0, will the cap be increased or do you need to finish the MSQ?

Here is the question again, I'd you'd like to reread it. Lemuria asnwered it in a way similar to how it was asked.
