trivialization didn't started with PoP - it started with Kunark.
It was Kunark that made half of the game obsolite.
It was with Kunark that lev 35 mobs started droping items than in classic droped from 50+ mobs
Verant should have kept the progression identical to vanila expansion and only put better items on mobs in 50-60 range
With velious it got even worse
So level cap itself has no effect on trivialization - loot distribution does
In this sence PoP was the best expansion ever, cuase it was mostly 60+ content and didn't step on on previosu expansion toes as much as Luclin and Kunark did
And yes this happens in each and every MOO that makes loot in each next expansion even more accesseable than in the previous one - its a market thing to get casual players to pay for something they don't really need
