I have the feeling that the feared items squish will happen at 100. Perhaps next expansion will be 10 levels again to round it up nicely, no one wants to level to 95.

I'm betting on 10 levels next xpac simply because it's Wow's 10th anniversary in 2014 (when 6.0 will likely be released.), and thematically the 100 milestone is a nice number for that.
imo level cap will reach 100, but nowhere does it say that there stoping with expansions we could stay at level 100 and still realease new expansions levelling from 1 - to 100 seems quite doable but after that im not so sure
Being we live in a world driven by profit margin, there is no reason to kill a cash cow. Despite the games age in regards to it's engine and graphics, as long as they have huge sub. numbers, it makes business sense to keep it going. Think about it, say there are only 2 more expansions to lvl 100. During that 'final' expansion when the last content patch for it is released for what it 'supposed to be' the last dance for the game there are still 9+ million people actively subscribed. Your the one making the decision to end the game there or not. Do you end it with plenty of data suggesting that extending the game will produce the profit it has been? Of course that decision wouldn't be made that late but it's business 101. If enough people are willing to keep paying, you keep producing.
Considering there are several items in mop that dont work on characters over lvl 94. Imma guestimate 95 will be the next cap.
Guys guys guys... you are all assuming we survive Dec. 21st....!
Next expansion will have 15 levels, because you get a talent point every 15 levels. Case closed
*minor spoilers I guess?*
Friend and I have a theory that after the garrosh kill/defeat, there will be a cutscene portraying the burning legion invasion for the next expansion. The next expansion will cover levels 90-100 and have Sargeras be the ending fight. Project Titan IIRC was looking to be released in the 2014/2015 range, so the end of the next expansion will open up into Blizzard's new MMO and WoW's story coming to a close.
It is naive, but I honestly am not believing Blizzard will keep creating content for WoW when Titan becomes closer to completion. There are TONS of directions they obviously can take WoW until then, no doubt, but Titan is their first chance to start fresh possibly. I think that this expansion will be the "We must unite to defeat outside forces lesson" and the next expansion we take from that to save Azeroth.
They will never stop making expansions if the game has like atleast 1 mill subscribers, because it's not just the subscription itself what generates money, but microtransactions too, but after titan they propably continue with the lines what was cataclysm end game, just re-using old stuff, but keeping it somewhat "fresh" that ppl wont drop subscriptions. Some people dont understand business. Even if the game had only 1 million subscriptors, it will still be much more profitable than most of the games and shutting it down would be a move beyond retarded.
Blizzard should have stuck with the 5 levels per expansion ever since BC. Seeing my character at level 100 then 105 just looks stupid.
