Is there even a point to raising level caps?

[gifthorse]

50 is a low cap, that and the fact the game has mobs up to level 90ish.

I say they raise it to 75 like in ffxi and leve it there for 8yrs or so. The not making old content worthless I agree with. Content should never be scrapped one of the biggest issues I had in other mainstream mmos, and what I loved in XI had people in sky 8yrs after it was out.

Well obviously I see them raising us to 75 shortly, and that's why I'm asking why they're doing it.

"What's the point?"

If we can only kill the R90 mobs with a 15-man party full of punishing barbs combatants (impossible now anyways), then maybe they should just decrease the lvl of the mobs so we can kill them at R50 with an 8-man party?

I don't see what makes someone say "Rank 50 is a low cap anyway". Low compared to what? An arbitrary assigned value? (Which is all R50 is by the way).

It takes people one month to get to R50 and I think that is long enough. One month is long enough to serve as a trial period before players can finally start participating in what developers like to call endgame.
