Slower progression in phase 2?

I have heard talk of slower progression in phase 2 in game but I can't find any evidence of Intrepid saying there will be reduced drop and xp rates in phase 2.
Does anyone have any evidence of this?
Personally I think we progress too fast for the servers to be up five days a week for multiple phases without wipes.
I don't want this to be a discussion about what rates are right. I just want an answer if anyone has one.

You won’t have a head start for long, however.
The longer 5-day testing windows (when Phase II starts) will give players plenty of time to hit the level cap … regardless of how Intrepid decides to fine tune progression.
To answer your question though, I have not heard anything either. The November Livestream and Discord are my main go-to places for info.
I really don't know what you mean by it's a moot point due to the amount of contact I have had with the game and that I have a head start.
If you mean what I am guessing you mean it has nothing to do with the concern here. The issue is not speed running to cap it's that people would loose interest after getting it so fast for such a long test.
The concern is really that it's expected to take 100 hours to hit 25. It's very realistic that people will do it in the first five days. Much more will do it by the second five days. Most people will cap by the third five days. To be honest I think it could be done in a tight 50 hours.
Server population s have dropped noticably every week in phase 1.
Most of the people I have talked to about it have run out of stuff to do and are waiting for phase 2.
Phase 2 could be dead servers with low populations testing not much of anything at our current rates.
Again, I am here to debate what is right in this case. I just wanted to clarify how the rumor was explained to me.
I have also been told that phase 1 had increased drop and XP rates due to it's short time frame. Which is kinda the same thing.
I really just want to know if any official statements have been made about this?

Presumably with gear having lower stats due to the calculation correction for rarity, you'll find it slower to level than previously?
I leveled in whites and greens. I don't think anything blue or below was really hit by the nerf. Most people leveled in crap gear.
I do think what you are saying will have an effect.
Maybe they will increase mob hp too and lower pve ttk?

Yeah, stock up on copper before the iron starts to spawn.
