Give us the PTR gear vendor on Alpha 2 servers!

We need to test the stat and TTK changes with gear, that we would actually go for, if we had more time.

Right now, most of the dedicated players in my guild are sitting on lvl20 (+4-8) legendary/epic weapons and lvl10 (+8-10) armor/jewelery. Sadly this gear is mostly useless after the recent changes.

Farming full lvl20 gear for only 2 more weekends (3 if you count the current one) is nothing you can motivate reasonable people to do.

So if you really want to have good feedback, give us the PTR gear vendor but remove the enchanting and consumable bags. Just give us the option to get the lvl10 and lvl20 sets to play around with. Using this gear we can actually test how PvE and PvP on lvl25 would feel like.

It is only 2 more weeks before the reset anyway. So it really doesnt matter that we get "freebies" progression is cooked anyway. Let people get the lvl25 exp scrolls so they can test other classes, that they might want to play in P3.

Get all the data you can get while making people happy.

They have not confirmed a wipe, just fresh start servers. People have asked about accelerated servers or PTR style vendors so they can skip the normal process. The answer so far has been no, and is most likely not going to change since you have it coming from both Steven and MK.

I agree with the OP, this is really needed for current stage of testing.
We desperately need better testing condition for more accurate data before the P3.
Stop treating the A2 servers as live game and treat it like the test it should be.

This to me reads pretty much like a wipe is quite certain.

And besides that, Margaret declining the requests 2 weeks ago and me asking for it after this massive patch is still a viable question?

You didnt bring up a single point of yourself, didnt post your opinion or anything, so honestly, whats your point?

Based suggestion.

With a very high probability there is gonna be a wipe. We only have a few weeks left - it might make sense to let people try various builds and figure out what issues may arise in P3.

Additionally, this could be a test in an environment that is much closer to the real situation we will have in P3 - not the ones we used to have on PTR on certain occasions (for example, testing certain changes with unenchanted blue level 20 gear, when the actual meta on the servers is enchanted level 10 gear - the chance that the right decisions/changes will be made based on data/feedback collected during those tests reduces significantly)
