This game is in for the long haul. The cap will rise slowly over the years as new content is added (this is the EQ model).
I think the whole idea is that, for the average player, gaining levels is slow enough that the cap on levels or other forms of character development stays ahead of them. The average character should level slowly enough that there is always somewhere to grow.
Yes, there will always be the hard core types that race to the cap and grind raids and dungeons for the best equipment, but that is, for them, its own reward. Games can never keep ahead of them.

see that's very true. but for the hardcore gamers it's not the leveling that should be the problem. it's the end game content that is what should matter for them. now obviously i can not speak about Vanguard End game content quite yet. i am only level 16.
you speak of the average gamer taking a while to level up. it should take a while yes, but some of us wanna get to the end game content and not spend so much time on monotonous grinding. i like the fact that exp parties are the way to go, get's you involved with others. just that it's hard to find parties. atleast for me anyways.
but in all reality the real problems lie within the glitches of the game. and should be fixed before they release new content. as far as i know the Mem leak is still around i was hovering around 5 FPS the other day until i rebooted my PC then i was back to 25-30. it just keeps hogging all my PF (Page file) after a while.
and what do you think about my Macro Pallet idea for the game?
