The quotes was referring to the new trial but they could use the expansion to reset gear. See now have had that thought I may have nightmares about grinding CP200 gear tonight.
I really don't think they will raise gear cap. There is no reason to as all it will do is create a grind so that everyone ends up just where they started. All the PvP will be the same level gear, all the mobs will be buffed to the power of the new gear. And, we see just how little the increase is between gear levels is.
Progression is done much more elegantly with the Champion System. And, they can always add new gear sets to keep the gear treadmill running.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

It'd be kinda interesting if they bumped us to lvl60 and also all the skill lines that are 50 got bumped up too. Maybe add new passives, expand on current passives. Maybe even a new skill on the end of each skill line. Yeah, right.
Most likely it was referring to how One Tamriel was introduced. In a way, playing in Vvanderfell as level 20 will feel like a max level character due to battle scaling.
