I think he wants to avoid this kind of situation.
I think content will be more or less scaled to ilvl385-ish anyway for the start of the expansion and on top of that we also got vendor gear that was fairly close to shire gear when SB dropped granted it wasn't a replacement for shire gear but if you didn't have the poetics then you could always buy some of those.

At the rate at which you can gain poetics it just doesn't make sense to have a cap on them. Now if they decided to not remove the cap but increase it to a reasonable amount then that would be fine. In the long run this honestly doesn't affect a lot of players but it would be more of a QoL change. I'm not saying make things super easy and give me all the loot, what I am saying is try to minimize the the amount of times a player will have to stop what they are doing just to make space for more poetics. In the end of the day the gear you can buy is mainly for leveling purposes these days and the items for relics.
