The whining over lost items, stats and skills due to a wipe unnecessarily prolong the necessary.

Whether the wipe happens at this exact moment in time, at the next update's release, a year, or at the 1.0 release client; the complaints and arguments shall remain similiar and not change. The safety of the database, the consistency of the server's security and the amount of dangerous exploits, hacks and misues do.

Those that play the game for it's intended purposes will not leave. Those that do not may. Those that deeply miss their achievements in events, and leveling stats and skills may be disgruntled and discomforted; yet if they play for the right reasons this will not be the deciding factor in their leaving.

The PS community shall not be cut, spliced, bashed, battered or tarnished. The community will receive a typical fresh start outlook on their player experiences.

I am not an angel, and the thought of my work in skills being wiped annoys me. That's clearly going to happen with anyone. Live with it, here's a hankerchief weepy  .
