Will there be a wipe between 2.0 beta and 2.0 live?

So by your logic we should have a monthlong beta of every patch in case something can be exploited like something ALWAYS IS, EVERY PATCH. Yes, there will be issues with 2.0, yes some of those issues may actually be exploitable to a player's benefit, no there will not be a wipe get over it.

Lots of games have this its called a test server. So people can play and test out new patchs before they hit live servers. Even FFXI has it.

Yes, but FFXI (and other games) do not wipe (or roll back) your retail character data for it.

That's because they are always done on copies from live or temp chars so they can be wiped without a problem and SE very well may have you copy your char to the 2.0 beta which will get wiped and only your 1.X char will actually count toward progression.

Yes, but those games also do it on ALTERNATE servers meaning you aren't forced to stop your retail character's progression for 3 months to test it.
