Nonetheless, I still don't see any argument that actually provides a good reason against having a lower cap for one or two weeks, unlike the party in favor.
People will still have the will to play, even more than they have right now to do so in the dev server with the current state of the game. No harm done.
Edit: I also realized that some people seem to think that it would take months? Uhh, nope.
The reason why there isn't a very solid reason to go against lower caps is because there isn't one. Most people just want lvl 70 because they never had a chance to reach it or just want all the content there and ready for them.
The lvl cap will give everyone a chance to grind zeni, gear and what not to prepare for the upcoming cap. It does provide a longer lifespan because it gives people something to look forward to. Also there won't be insane one shots in tournaments if they're hosted and people will have to use strategies in dungeons such as ud2 in order to complete it. It will actually be a challenge and you can't blow through it. Many will get bored easily but not me . Well that's what I have to say for now.
