The reason they are scaling tghe avatars has nothing to do with development time, it is all about the game lore.

SoE do not want players in game to be able to kill avatars with 1 - 2 groups like we can do with DoF contested mobs (and KoS for that matter).

I only hope they put as much effort into the newly scaled avatars as they put in to them the first time round (well, the first and second time round combined would be better), and that they do something to make them feel like a different fight.

Perhaps they should slow down on raising the level cap then. We all have different reasons for playing though, and I know some really don't mind grinding another 10 levels.

Slow down? Uhm, the last level cap increase came 21 months ago. That seems pretty slow to me.

Well you have to look at it in the context of expansions and not months. They raised it 20 levels in 3 expansions, and will be 30 levels in 4 expansions.

That's a lot of raising in just 4 expansions, especially since most things (gear/spells) just scale up a certain fixed % with a new name slapped on it. I'm hoping they actually put a lot of creativity into this next expansion to outweigh all the tacky things they've been introducing (LoN in-game rewards /gag), but we'll see.
