Assuming they were to follow WoW's footsteps on the matter, that's exactly what they'll do. For the majority of the expansions life, it'd be a up to the entry point of said content (e.g. Heavensward would be lv50 and MSQ up to the end of ARR). Near the end, they'd likely at least bump it up to lv60 but keep MSQ how it was (or maybe even skip to the end, since it'd be in prep for SB).

This whole thing really isn't a big deal these days. The mentality of players universally has changed from what it was in the past, including the folks vehemently against the idea. While the concept could have spelled destruction in the early 2000's, when players and expectations were different, but now we're so accustomed to the idea of convenience that a level boost just won't do any significant harm in the long term. It just won't, be it through the perspective of statistics and simple logic.

Initially there will be a wave of stupid washing over the DF, but when you think about it, isn't that already what most people complain about now? It being "worse" is merely temporary.
