Speaking as a new player to the server (1 week in), the selfish part of me would love a server wipe. All the reasons previously mentioned for this feeling were covered in other posts.
In my heart I know this won't solve the problem. For some unholy reason, there are people who are both extremely stupid as well as impatient that pay real money for pixels. That's the heart of the problem. With a demand involving real money at play, it...
1) Adds a huge factor of camping / killing key targets and holding them by the farmers rather than agreeing to guild rotations.
2) Drives the RMT staff to find any means of exploiting to generate profit (duping falls under here).
This is all common sense. A wipe wouldn't address either issue of real money driven camping / server crashing + duping.
A hard solution towards those points would have to be discovered before a wipe could hold any meaning.
As it stands right now though, I DARE you, I fucking DARE you to show me a different private server of ANY MMORPG type with a population of 100+ that experiences daily DDoS strikes solely for the intent of real money profit.
This server is experiencing a situation of being compromised. It can't continue like this. Leaving things alone is the absolute worst move to make.
