Once he releases that new game mode I doubt he wants to release it for players that are already past the level for it. Imagine if he released it for level 400 (inferno 200), the top 50 players would probably be past 500 at that point. So he would have to release it for level 600, and then it would take anyone not in the top 200 months to see it. Instead he will probably cap it at 400 or something like that, depending on release date, and then only the top 200 will hit that cap before it is released.
And because of this, If only the new major game system is introduced, inferno lvls need to be capped at reasonable point. Anyone would like to reach that point and if one would see it'll take him 1 year to reach inferno lvl 200, he will quit.
With current system, as f2p player who does not abuse game system to lvl faster (some people from tops do), I need 1.5 days to lvl up (almost lvl 250). If only I can keep that speed for the eternity, that would take me ~2.5 months just to reach lvl 300. If the cap was 400, you guess it: 7.5 months... That does not encourage...
There few two solutions:
1. Set hard cap at 350-400. If tops reach that, then they have to wait for future system. Sorry, you were rushing so much, you can now blame yourself.
2. Set hard cap past 400. But also increase somehow lvl speed so anyone can hit the cap in reasonable amount of time. This will however piss anyone who reached decent inferno lvl, as the time they spent lvling isn't worth the same. Just compare 1-200 before and after kong release.
3. Introduce other systems allowing to earn exp. Global Beasts, for instance, could give experience (reasonable amounts).
