Level Cap will never be increased.
This for me was the worst news of the entire stream. You can only play a game for "fun" for so long, especially as a solo. A lot of us don't play in big groups or swfs. The base game is basically going to be rush week, once everything's unlocked we have to wait until the next piece of content is developed. You're playing for nothing. Working towards nothing. I don't think they realize how much a simple level grind would keep people interested and playing. Sad times man. I loved this game.
