I thought the max level wasn't going to be raised?

I'm not sure, but I heard Krin say something about pets at level 100 in a forum- maybe it's not going to get raised anytime now, but let's say maybe it did raise a level or two.

The way prof points are set up and attack abilities hint that it probably isn't going to raise, and this would be useless, but I'm not sure.

Given that my main air pet lost at minimum 1,812,456,756 experience when the cap raised from 70 to 75, I wouldn't count on this suddenly becoming a thing. In fact, the ability to see how much surplus EXP you've gained was just removed with this last cap increase, so.

I think Krin has said he intentionally doesn't want to do this. Because the time period between when the max level is raised to the next, most active players would have stored up enough exp points to jump to the new max level without doing anything more.

And since the max level is usually tied to the release of new storyline/zone expansion, this would make the new boss battles way easier for active players when they play the new zone.

And if you adjust the battles to require max level, then it would be too difficult for new players who don't have the advantage of building up the experience before the new raised max level.

So it's intentional that no exp points is earned once you hit the max level, so once the max level is raised, everyone will be on the same starting page again.
