This is a point I bring up often that seems like it's news to a lot of people.

I am a time starved power gamer. I'd like to have the time to be in a high end raid guild like I was in live. The reality is that I am not going to get to. I don't have the time to contribute to such a guild. I slowly farm and trade to get decent gear. It's something I can do in little bits and pieces over time.

If the server were wiped, then I'm the kind of player that would probably move along and play something else. It wouldn't be worth it to me to get back to where I am now. It's already taken me two years =)

I understand every argument that's for a wipe, but I've never agreed. These threads have been popping up since I was L1 and I've never agreed with a server wipe. The only time I was tempted to agree was right after the hundreds of suspensions due to the showeq two boxing crap. It seemed like the server had been compromised. Even so, in hindsight... it's always going to be that way on any server in any game.

I guess, selfishly, I'd hate to have to find something else to play. There's no other MMO that I've played that hasn't moved into their own "Luclin and beyond" era.

Words and typed sentiments.
