I highly doubt that after all the work they release a level cap increase that blows up the game. And he has stated repeatedly that this is something they will do. I do feel that our expectations are hurting things here, as there was no real statement saying the first couple (or indeed any) DLCs would include an increase to the level cap. Personally, I don't understand why many people today think more levels = better game. I play a lot of pencil-and-paper RPGs, and even though they are spectacular games you rarely play past lvl 20 (or even get there).

I still don't get how you think all the new guns are "worse". They were made at the same power-level as the core game weapons on purpose, since the devs didn't want to create the idea that you HAD to buy the DLCs. Making them more powerful just because it's a DLC would make all the previous content worthless, as you could just face-roll the older content. Based on that, there is a probability that a group of players would not have found a new favorite piece of gear. But that does not make the new guns/gear worse, just different.
