The cap was confirmed to be 20 (source below), but they did say that there would still be more to do after the cap was reached. What does this mean? I have no clue. A lvl cap at 20 doesn't instil confidence in the longevity of the game. Having said that, the gameplay was fun, and if there is truly more loot to be found and more dungeons to be cleared, then I guess you can't complain... unless the abilities/ skill trees become repetitive after a while. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-01-destiny-has-a-soft-level-cap-of-20-but-you-can-go-beyond-it
