I'm asking this again, when are we going to have the level cap raised again?

Nobody knows, this might even not happen at all.

Then why even code in a level gold tier set of levels? I mean, that's just dumb to do that. Popcap would have bronze tier, then silver tier, then no gold tier?

Because Popcap likes to come up with something, develop it a lot and in the end say "meh f@#$ it" and stop. Look at Vasebreaker. We get new levels once per eternity. Look at upgrade trophies. When did we see the last one? Ah, pinata hunt slots, how convenient. But besides that? The last upgrade was in far past, in Far Future. Epic quests? They scrapped one the best features of the game so far. Look at how many design things they removed, from world map items to minigame music and beheaded zombie hitbox. They abandon every ambitious idea while it hasn't even been rooted yet and that doesn't stop them to come up with more. And everything I've just listed is a bigger candidate for being "just dumb to do that" compared to your statement.

Besides, they abandoned world expansions as well, mind you.

They've been hyping up the Level thing for so long, and after ages they raised the cap to 6-9-12. Also, they haven't abandoned worlds, like Dalek says it's mere speculation. Also, upgrades are something you can stop making without it looking unfinished and lazy. Like, if they hyped up a new brand new set of 5 upgrades (one per month), and they stopped making new ones after the third one, THEN it'd look unfinished. But I see they're just being lazy, sure making it look kinda tacky, but it's certainly not unfinished. The levelling system is probably going to be released after the final expansion.
