Is there even a point to raising level caps?

I think every 6 months, we should see a rank cap increase of 5 ranks.. this gives SE 6 months to release new content for those 5 new ranks. This will keep the game fresh every 5 ranks, plus give people time to rank up all their classes every 5 ranks also.

The problem with XI, was that they STAYED at 75 for too long and made too much content for 75, which is why abyssea destroyed XI. If every 6 months they increased 5 levels, then there wouldn't have been 20 level 75 things to do, but 2 level 75, 2 level 80, 2 level 85, 2 level 90, 2 level 95, etc... this would keep the game more enjoyable through all the ranks. Also with the release of new classes, this gives everyone fun along the way.

MMO's are about growing as a character, and XI was good until 75, then its like you hit a brick wall, you either grind-ed merits and felt like you didn't grow much, or you started a new job until 75. How cool would a game be if you never HAD everything. That is what makes a good game, always something to strive for.

This minus his every 6 months idea. Xi ruined itself, and now they realized XIV isn't making money yet, so they have to prolong XI's lifespan by 2-3 years, and for you who think that game is dead you're mistaken, I can't bring myself to play it, its perverse, but its not dead and new people are even starting O_o. The 80 cap didn't even kill FF at first, it was the 2nd abyssea expansion, but for some reason it just cleared out the last remnants of old players, and new ones swarm in. Jeuno is all nubby new people with level 90s due to abyssea :/ If scaled correctly a level cap increase will not ruin a game.
