I tried to find an existing thread on the subject, but I'm guessing the conversation is pretty old.

Same old story: There are three sets of ranks that have yet to be made available to us despite them having been present since at least 2.0 (when I joined). It would be incredible to get some viable gear (competitive with tombstone gear if used with a sanction perhaps?) and items from the higher ranks. Some new quest content maybe?

Did I perhaps miss a live letter address of this? Are there any plans, or have they made it clear that they have no intention of advancing the GC content?
