its the responsible thing to do and would allow the cheaters to be caught. or are u against taking away unfair advantages cause u have one?
Wiping everything won't stop the hacks. It will temporarily slow down RMT. It would also render every hour I've spent on my characters fleshing them out to be wasted, and I know I wouldn't be the worst hit by that aspect.

I've been thinking on the subject a while as to what a plausible solution might be. Closest thing I've come up with is allowing a naked transfer, with a limited number of "exemption" items. Pick somewhere between 3 and 5 items to take with you. Epic automatically included, and your choice of (we'll say three) other items. Maximum two characters per account transferred, maybe with a level limit of 46 or greater to prevent mule transfers (gotta make it count).

This is all pipe dreaming afaic, as neither scenario will actually happen, and it would still be subject to abuse unless you made the items nodrop only. I would hope that'd be avoidable but I doubt it.
