You don't have to increase the level cap just to release new sets of gear.
I can't get to the cap with even one character, much less the main and two other alts that I want to play because you keep raising it before I get there.
There are some people who play this game that don't exploit their way to max level as fast as they possibly can, ya know. Came back from a couple months break to see how things were going. Not looking like I'm going to renew at the end of the month, and I doubt I'll be back at all this time.
Don't see the problem, if you're a casual player, it means you have even more content to clear before getting to max level. If you're a raider then it means you have something new to aim for in order to get slightly better stats and better gear.
If you still haven't reached level cap after 6 months, you'll never manage to play competitively anyways (in this MMORPG or any other) so just enjoy the game at your pace, reaching level cap won't change a thing regarding what you can and can't do in any case.

I was at the max cap on the last MMO I played stuck at lvl 29 and lvl 39 both for six months both times before new cap raises and for me having nothing to do but PVP and run the same two dungeons over and over in the hope that I'd get that .001% unique gear drop got old fast. Personally I'm happy Zenimax is giving us new content and level caps regularly. But then I'm not trying to race my way to the max level to twiddle my thumbs and complain how PVP is boring because I burned through everything else.

The problem is they keep increasing the cap. I WOULD be at the cap and WOULD be competing if they hadn't increased the cap. You understand how this works, right?
The only real solution is wait for champion points
and then keep waiting
and then continue waiting
etc

No. You do not have to increase the level cap to release new content.

Once again, you wouldn't be competing. If you don't even have time to reach level cap, you def don't have time to compete.
People that are competing and actually clearing things (many are competing but never managing to achieve anything) have 30 - 50 and more played days on their main characters, they spent hours, days learning how to play perfectly, looking for mats, leveling alts for the hirelings, getting all their gear to legendary and so on. They where VR10 less than 2-3 weeks after the game came out (for some it took a couple of days) and VR12 or VR14 the same day the level cap was increased.
If you enjoy leveling slowly, you shouldn't worry about level cap. If you really want to compete, time to grind to VR14 and get invested in the game .
And doing absolutely everything, is just silly. Playing that way makes exploring silly, ESO turned into a quest grind starting with VR1. go to this map, do every quest, dolmen, dungeon, WB, than move to next zone rinse and repeat.

At first people were complaining that it only went to V10 and that they wanted more levels, now everyone complains that they should stop increasing the level caps. make up your minds people.
You aren't a Professional MMO athlete looking to stay at max level doing group-only content at an advanced level for military strategists on teamspeak?
Then you aren't the audience, bye.

That's where we'll have to agree to disagree, as those things you just listed as silly are exactly why I play this game, to do everything. To me content releases without level cap increases are just silly.

So you're saying if I can't play 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, I shouldn't bother? Yeah, that market strategy will last a long time. Maybe I'll play again later on when this game goes F2P.
Try more 5h per day 7 days a week. I've got a full time job and still manage to play at high level of competition (mind you it's not as hard as other MMOs out there in my opinion).
What market strategy? It's always been like that in any MMO, dedicated people and Koreans/Chinese always beat the others because they play longer. You can't login 2h every couple of days and expect the game to put you at the same level of competition than the people who played 20h during the same lapse of time. Even in Guild Wars 2 where you're always max level in PVP, it's all about the gear you have on you... Pay2Win won't change anything, you'll still be at the bottom of the food chain if you can't dedicate time to the game.
If you can't dedicate yourself to the game you can't hope to compete on the same level of people who do, it's the same with any sport/game that requires a bit of skill.
The self entitlement nowadays...
What grind? Every VR levels covers a complete Quest Zone. Heck I`m already VR4 and didn't even finished half of all quests in the 3rd VR Zone. If I would like to, I could just go for the Achivement Quests and move on to the next Zone, leaving the optional Quests aside.VR1 started a silly grind. Adding more VR levels with very little content just adds to the grind.

Once the champion system comes out, the gap will actually close significantly. They said they were going to implement rest points to those who can't put in the hours the competitive people put in order to get ahead. I'm quite disappointed with this actually. Why put in the hours if someone is going to catch up by getting a bigger bonus for being offline.
