Re: Excuses Given for Full Char Wipe:
In the excuses you gave for the full char wipe, and the sunshine up the arse blowing that was given as reasons to "enjoy the reset", a comment was made by the OP about our wonderful community.
The community is what it is, and has stayed loyal for as long as it has, because there was trust. We trusted you, the devs, not to spit in our faces and tell us it was honey drips.
You are, now, in the process of breaking that trust.
With the trust, so goes the respect. You, obviously, have no respect for us. Why then, should we have any respect for you or your product.
See how that works?
There's an old saying: "Crap rolls downhill, but stink rises".
You've notified your trusting community of players that you intend to knowingly and willingly crap on them.
Enjoy the smell that's coming.
PS. I, personally, lose nearly nothing in a full char wipe. I've played this game off and on since beta, but always wipe my own chars when I come back to the game and start over. No skin off my nose on that. But, what I find reprehensible and unforgivable, is your deceit in the excuses you gave for the need of the wipe, the smoke you blew about us enjoying the wipe and your seeming inability to comprehend that it is the high skilled, long time players that not only make this community what it is, but also make the game survivable for many, if not most, of your new players in what they (the long term players) provide as material support and their willingness to spend large amounts of their game time in aiding and assisting newer players.
Are you really willing to bank on the long term players sticking around for a full do-over? Really?
