Max level capped at 50?

Can someone from EA/DICE please explain why there's a cap?

Yeah I've been at level 50 since beginning of December. It would be nice to see a continuous increase. At least add some stats so we can see our total xp or something if the level cap isn't removed. 

It's something that we've had discussions over but it's a change that has a lot of potential side effects. For example, would we just increase the overall rank, or would we do the same for troopers and heroes as well? Does this mean there needs to be additional Star Cards or unlocks that need to be created? It remains something we are talking about, but there's nothing specific that we can share right now

Thanks @EA_Atic nice to know this is being given some consideration. Tbh an overall xp stat would suffice imo I know you guys have those stats it would just be nice to see. That way if you've maxed out you can see at least your overall xp progression.

Thanks for the response @EA_Atic

Yes, increase overall rank and do the same for troopers and heroes.

No, star cards and unlocks would not need to be created.  The idea is that when they do get created as part of planned enhancements (e.g. a new season), then the increased ranks would apply.

If you remove some of those caps, you'll get people playing more just to see how high they can go.  I think the more immediate issue would be how many digits the game can accommodate - e.g. rank 1,000.  There would undoubtedly be contests to see who can get highest.  If necessary, an insanely high cap could be implemented.
