Probably the same way they balanced to content in the closed beta when they raised to level cap almost every patch. They did not do much of anything and let it adjust itself as players moved onto new content. Old content still was played some, just not as much and not dozens of times per day. The dozens of time per day stuff was whatever was appropriate for the level cap at that time for that stage of the closed beta.
I remember how much some places like the Scarlet Monestary were getting run when the level cap was stuck at 39 for period of time. That instance was getting calls for groups to run it more than locations like Strat/Scholo/BRS/DM do now. When the cap got moved up in the next patch, the areas for groups of players shifted to new areas for players to go plunder and get the loot to be the most uber out there.
