Level caps do serve one very good purpose, Zelron. They keep quests from starting which would trigger the spawning of enemies too powerful for most low level players to deal with. (Volkihar vampire attacks, for instance.)  We look at as like having an internship after having graduated from the tutorial. Of course a few players don't need this, but game developers aim for the average, so level caps will never go away.
