I am curious as to what exactly do yall expect from a cap increase.
Aside from potentially unlocking a new 8 gate slot, which would be nice, what does higher cap really do for you?
Fact of the matter is, between 5 level, 5 level of cultivation, 2 awakening and 5 levels of equipment upgrade, you'd only gain about 1000 to 1500 power (depending on ninja/star/mood), that's really not much all things considered, as most of the serious cappers (who are at risk of one-day-90) are 45k+

That said, all my ninja except GNW Ino which I have gotten recently are now max exp, and I rarely feed any of them food, maybe a total of 5 was fed due to tech requirement for exam or something, I leveled them by rotating ninjas while sweeping. So everything exp related, I am capped.

To Daiske: instant-90 is probably impossible, since that requires somewhere between 800 and 1000% stored I bet. But don't forget plot missions, most capped player have half of 84, all of 86 and 88 to work with on their path to 90, which altogether is probably more than enough for entirety of 89 to 90. This is why we say 90 in a day or two, all we need is the time to finish those missions.
Now they might not be re-capped (by that I mean 90 99.99%) but they can get to 90 with just 600 to 750% stored. I'm a ftp and I have 400%, I'm sure there are higher ptws who can get to 90 in just one day, unless the exp required is MUCH higher than what we expect, which might be a problem in itself.

But in any case, unless cap increase comes with actual new content at the same point, what is really the point? I mean TI is no longer tied to level, exam never was, those upgrades can be released independently of level cap, so what exactly are we REALLY asking for when we ask for lv cap? Level cap is pretty darn insignificant if you really think about it. Again, the only REAL benefit of that might be the 8 gate slot that's currently locked, that's about it, we are level-gated on nothing else.

Well, guy lived....

I know, it's an extreme example but.... it's not like opening 7 gates is exactly conductive to "our" health, yet "we" are running around perfectly fine. I'm not entirely sure how closely we are *ing to the lore or what interpretation we are making for our system.

Thou in any case, if even CN server don't have the 8th gate, then we probably wont be seeing it. And with that, there is pretty much no REAL reason for upping level cap, because it's rather arbitrary and completely unrelated to any potential new features.

By the same token thou, as long as no other feature are added along with the level cap, there is also no real impact on the game if level cap was made into 200. The only semi-relevant problem would be the fact that we won't have the awaken mats for post-100 in game... probably.... and unless new plot instances and their mission are added, we won't be able to get them, which in turn generates equipment upgrade mats that we have no use for. But none of that is REALLY critical to just having a super high cap, considering the only down side is that you can't awaken your ninja all the way. It's only 200-300 power per level, it really doesn't impact the game state much.
