Also, I imagine that even for the hardcore EQ'ers here, a reset would be equally frustrating as I imagine one of the reasons they play so often and for so long is so they could get to the point they're at now with all of their uber gear.

The thing is the hardcore have all the uber gear because there isn't more uber gear for them to collect. MMORPGs are treadmill in nature to keep that carrot on a stick dangling in front of the player so they keep logging on and (on Live) keep paying. Restarting that treadmill doesn't change the fact that there is a treadmill, which is where most players derive their fun, beating the treadmill. So resetting hurts those less who enjoy running on the treadmill less than resetting harms the casuals who are on the treadmill because of the experiences on the treadmill. There are those who enjoy the treadmill, and there are those who enjoy the bumps in the gravel path.
