We will add vendors with all the item sets and reputation items (Bijous and coins) during the 2nd phase of the test in order to test each set bonus, quest, and reputation reward. The first half we'd like focus to be on the bosses, their mechanics and tuning.
Awesome, looking forward to see in what kind of state ZG is in atm. However I still think you could/should have added the vendor with item sets and bijous/coins etc, right from the start. Guilds will still be able to focus on the bosses and their mechanics, and im sure they will. At the same time it would have allowed individuals to contribute aswell, by testing out the item sets, reputation items and all that minor crap, that still needs testing, but is a waste of time to let entire guilds focus on.
example: Head of Nefarian could have easily been tested by a single person, if that item was available to him, same goes for item set bonuses, which can easily be tested in duels or on training dummies... oh and btw WTB a training dummy to properly test the 16 debuff slots on
