The reason for wipe is to stop the grinding fest this game has become for so many, to equalize chances for everyone and especially for new players and to show Garison that there is more to life than loom points. And if you say that the skills are the most important factor, I agree. But that is actually an argument IN FAVOR of wipe, not the opposite. Cause if you are good, you will stay good without triple loomed equipment and weapons.
Once again, a simple wipe will obviously cause nothing like this. If the game just gets wiped, then the heirloom grinding will start all over again, the equalized chances will last exactly a week. What you say here will only happen if loompoints get removed or changed. In which case I would love a wipe. Fuck loompoints, they are a retarded mechanic.
A wipe will not fix anything unless you change the system, it will just set everyone back 1.5 years and tell them to fuck off or do that shitty retiring shit again. I am done with grinding in the current system and I only support a removal of grinding.
And that thing about gen 20 is utter nonsense, Teeth. Just browse through this topic and you will see that there are lot of people with different gens and rather successful in trading who are supporting wipe. I'll repeat, gen 10 here, almost 2 years of playing, 15 loom points in equipment, another 6 at a friend atm (not Panos ), and I am supporting full wipe. There are many others.
I'm not saying that only gen 20's are in favour of a wipe, my post was only directed at a few gen 20's, not as a general statement about the type of people that support a wipe. There are obviously many other type of players that support a wipe, mostly people with clouded judgement.
