This isn't like other games, we've played this game before. RoR also seems to be even more grindy and the devs have seen to that. I'm not about to grind a main and alts for a 3rd time. Throw in lag, bad moderation with no accountability and Order bias, yeah... no thanks.
All i did was offer you a cookie. They are quite good. As to insulting the Management team I would be careful what you say.
I feel like you're trying to be funny/clever but I'm not amused. As far as the moderation, you don't need to warn me, I know how they love to abuse their power, I know mods can call the player base retarded but if you say "shitty", you've crossed the line, further proving my point. That's off topic. I did edit my post though. xD

when literally EVERYTHING you have farmed up to t3 will be completely disposable and worthless at lvl40 in the first place.
The only thing that was a bit tedious was to farm certain jobs back up, but since aza finally fixed how one can gather from high lvl mobs with low lvl skill even that isnt really a problem anymore. The amount of Gold sadly already is again inflated as hell thanks to the killquests being spammed all over and t3 items going for multiple hundreds to thousands of gold just proves that as well. A puny RR of 40 will be farmed in a few days/weeks as well and the XP honestly isnt any big deal either in my opinion. For people that have 10 lvl35 chars that could indeed hurt the most, but literally everything Gear AND RR related being wiped should be absolutely no problem.
Just my thoughts about that stuff - if we should ever face another huge gamebreaking issue somewhen in the future i am always completely pro any full wipe (or at least complete wipe and keep naked chars with their lvl and perhaps RR too)
I know it's very hard for you to understand much, even when it's plainly in front of you. Try reading slower. topkekhurdurimafollower

there is ppl who break realm economy selling some crap for ridiculous price, maby there should be some offering price for item and u cant overreach it with higher price. for example potion 10 lvl is automatacly priced from 1-10 silver. offc if that possible.

Why wipe anything just undoing thousands of hours of play time for what? People spent allot of time playing reporting bugs and testing stuff why cant they just keep their toons?

For me, it is all about the journey. As a gamer, it was always a motto ideal for me during my time playing games.

If it's not hard to make gold then why oppose a gold wipe?
what issue are you trying to address by wiping gold?
Inflation. There being way too much gold in the economy because there are no real gold sinks to speak of.

I personally would hate to grow again my characters, work skills and gear.Maybe many of you have much time to invest on this, for me was a bit longer cause I'm not twenty anymore and, luckily, life has some other features that need somene's attention. You forget to consider how many would leave if this happens, though I am not considering it.
Money is the main issue, you risk to unbalance market, but hey, let's fin a way to sink it instead of wiping them all. Gambling with prizes, cosmetic vendors, cosmetic mounts, money based duels, higher auction rates, so people will stop putting awkward prices on it, fee on mail money transfer, flight cost proportional to money possessed, and so on. Just suggesting ideas, cause I have no clue about the possibility of realizing them.

Dont try to be edgy kid, that doesnt fit you. Perhaps you should read my post again though and slowly
think about what i've read, but lemme rephrase it for you: I am pretty much saying an Item and RR wipe (keeping lvls) would be literally no throwback for people when we hit T4, since all of the farmed stuff will be useless as we hit higher levels anyway, RR would be easy to farm as well and crafting Jobs were made a lot easier to lvl up as well, but i'd say theres no problem in keeping them as well.
If you're going to say now : "No the items i've farmed are so gud and i'll totes leave when u wipe em!!11" , then you're probably someone who hoarded tons of T3 emblems/medallions already and just wait for insta buying a whole t4 set, which you actually shouldn't be supposed to have on the first day of t4 release.

I am a follower of a few Staff members indeed. Since we sadly seem to have a lot of partisans and ungrateful dipsh*ts who need to be kept in check for obvious reasons.

There's a couple peeps who spent WEEKS farming for the Squighopper Cloak, i think those guys should atleast be compensated in the case of an gear wipe
