It seems those campaigning to resist the opening of a new server are acting selfishly as well b/c they don't want to lose player base to something they don't personally desire.

here you make a point by calling players who disagree with you selfish.

Wow - that didn't take long. Here's to at least trying to have a reasonable conversation over the internet.

Let me repeat what I posted, word-for-word, about RMT/duping and a new server, and I'm going to put it in bold to really help you read it and understand it.

So, before you lose your cool and start calling people "dumbasses" and such, please make sure you have thoroughly read and comprehended your opponents "invalid argumentation" before spewing around like an un-held firehouse.

these three are even from the same post.

troll ravings

Armor with +2000HP = mudflation. Do we have that here? No.

Also the onus is clearly on the people who want to delete everyone else's characters to provide good reasons. That's just obvious.

And so far all I've heard is random whining.

To quote the great Patton Oswalt on respecting differing opinions and beliefs:

"You’ve gotta respect everyone’s beliefs." No, you don’t. That’s what gets us in trouble. Look, you have to acknowledge everyone’s beliefs, and then you have to reserve the right to go: “That is fucking stupid. Are you kidding me?" I acknowledge that you believe that, that’s great, but I’m not going to respect it. I have an uncle that believes he saw Sasquatch. We do not believe him, nor do we respect him!"

Fair enough.

However, I don't think calling someone to respect the idea of a new server (not a server wipe, mind you) is worthy of such disrespect and agitation - there is valid reasoning associated with the idea. This is all in my opinion of course.

Man screw a wipe, I just spent 48 hours getting to level 6. I can only imagine how long its going to take me to get to 60. If there is a wipe I can garantee you people will be livid, prob borderline suicidal.

If your that far deep in to fantasy, You need to get a life AWAY from the PC

Splorf, you're a reasonable guy. Please read back through all of my posts in this thread and show me where I was supporting a server wipe. Server wipe is not the same as starting a new server (3rd server) while leaving this one intact.

Also, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudflation

Stat inflation (or "stat explosion") can be a subset issue related to Mudflation.

Why to not wipe the server in a few easy-to-understand points:
1. My character is not your character to take away from me, and I don't need you trying to inception the devs to take them.
2. Not wiping the server is not an imposition on you. Similar to getting gay married, it doesn't hurt anyone, but some religious asshole/gamer dick who blocks marriage/resets a server because he can't stand to see others getting along well on something he doesn't approve of is an imposition.
3. Ain't nobody got time for that shit.
4. I don't know what your experience on classic was, but mine included playing with a bunch of richer than god players, and trying to work my way up in status.
5. Other people having stuff doesn't mean you can't one day too.
6. Enforcing a raid/guild rotation is easier than restarting a server.
7. Velious will hopefully shut you up
