1) Are there plans to implement a new tier of gear with this patch? This would obviously be gear better than allagan or AF+1.

In our current progression most of our guild has one class with an entire set of AF+1 and working on allagan sets to mix match. Our main concern is with new content will us end gamers still have something to work toward like a new set of gear that is better than what we have. I think it's pointless to grind CT for worse gear than we already have.

2) Are there plans to allow us end game players who have nothing left to do, to get a test server to test this content for bugs and exploits before official patch releases. Other mmo's usually have a test server that allows end game guilds the chance to test new content and submit feedback on issues or exploits before content is officially released. Does SE have similar plans for this?
