What would a wipe do tbh? if you mean wipe all looms and gens then it's just a double sided blade. O one hand you have the guys with a fuck ton of heirlooms who play the game a shit ton, who might just be pissed at all the time they spent playing and retiring being a waste, then you have players like me who often have periods of inactivity and don't play enough to retire often and have taken alot of time just to get a couple of decent heirlooms, only to lose them to a wipe, because of what reason?.
Personally, it's taken me a while just to get my couple of looms for multiple reasons, I'd be pissed if I lost them over a wipe because it is a part of the progression of the game. Just because I have a life and it takes me a while to get heirloom points, why should I suffer because other people spend every minute they possibly can playing the game and getting looms?.
Then the 'no-lifers' that actually remain, will just again leap beyond everyone else and it wont be long before they're retiring every week again and those of us who retire once in a while will just be in exactly the same place, again, it will all just go back to how it is now except we'll probably lose a bunch of players for both of the situations stated.
Or if you just mean resetting everyone to 0 for 'peasant wars'? what good will that do, everyone will be level 30 soon again.
Either way, a wipe has no positive result right now.
