I've seen the videos on the BL2 forum and read a little from Randy Pichford.... I guess there was an unknown glitch yesterday that caused all bosses and chests to drop nothing but orange items. It is now patched...
I still refuse to play until the Cap Level increase comes out.

There's so many Orange weapons already floating around out there. All you gotta do is ask and I could drop you three kinds of Conference Calls!

There needs to be more pink items

The only pink items I have are the relics I bought with seraph crystals and the Retcher I picked up off of Hyperious. I wish the Orange TORGUE weapons were level 50 I love my Kerblaster!
Lol I got a couple Kerblasters you'd like Klaws....heh heh

Word I've read around the net is that they have no plans to increase the level cap at all and Gearbox has said it is because it would break the game. No idea how much truth is in that since I've not seen the original source personally but I've seen it referenced a lot. I'll try to see if I can find any truth to this

ok so i did some digging around and still have no clear information on the level cap. I've found many conflicting statements, and while some are pure speculation and reading out of context, some seem to be legitimate sources.
In January there was an article in PSM (http://www.officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk/2013/01/16/borderlands-2-level-cap-raise-coming-q1/) with quotes from associate producer James Lopez saying level cap increase is incoming by Q1 of 2013
...We do have one planned, and it will be for quite a few levels which will allow you play for quite a bit longer. We also have a plan for Q1...
I've also seen some say this is still true but has been delayed to Q2 and will be in DLC beyond the scope of the season pass
on the flip side, I've come across an article on The Escapist (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/121998-Gearbox-Cant-Increase-Borderlands-2s-Level-Cap-Without-Breaking-It) posted in February quoting Randy Pitchford, Gearbox pres, saying it's not possible to increase the level cap
...People want to level up more. It makes sense. We totally get it. We did it in Borderlands 1, so we have the precedent. And we're gonna break our fucking game if we change the math...
he goes on to suggest some issues that would arise would be beyond the capability of current gen hardware
who is right? I guess we'll have to wait and see

How is it going to break the game? Lol

the explanation Randy gave was this:
the team at Gearbox was very conscious of exactly what combinations of skills were possible with a level cap of 50. The way the skill system is implemented, players would be overwhelmingly powerful if they had the added flexibility of a few more points. Not only would it disrupt the game's balance, it would run the risk of exceeding the capabilities of the game itself. "We knew the impossible configurations. Some of the design exploits that. Some of the impossible configurations, if they were possible, would break the game. Sometimes very literally. 'Oh, that's gonna blow memory. Your Xbox will crash.'"

Also the video hardware in the 360 is also barely able to keep up I've been noticing more and more frequently that its taking longer for the graphics to render on maps so anything major will break it and seems like they would have to re write the kernal also to allow more levels in addition to having the new Xbox that's getting released hopefully

Thanks for the info... I will add some more to the confusion. I read Randy Pitchfords twitter feed almost daily.... He stated not to far back, that they figured the bugs out for the level increase and (rumor has it) it will happen during Q1. Speculation is that with the next MAP DLC, it will be released.

I couldn't find Randy's exact tweet, but I saw this today... However, Icannot speak for the legitimacy of the source:
