Ok, let's see.... no one is saying everything will be fixed if there's a wipe. No one is even saying anything will be fixed with one. So why should anyone want to lose all their progress for the server to remain as it is, except that they would have to start from scratch?
Let me repeat two things I've said before:
- this theoretical wipe and fixes are two separate things, one doesn't depends on the other and one wouldn't assuredly lead to the other, hence the only result we would have for sure is pissing off the current players that still stick around;
- we are talking about a minimal amount of people. If a wipe would really bring this many people as the ones calling for a wipe claim, what would a hundred or two well-geared matter? New players join Icecrown - a server that gathers players from years of playing - and you don't get them wanting wipes just so they aren't behind. If people really, truly wanted to play on Neltharion, they would be playing, not waiting for wipes so a small group isn't ahead of them.
So don't go talking like the few players that still stick around are "selfish" for wanting to keep the characters they struggled to build over time, with coins or fighting bugs. In my eyes, the ones saying they will only play on the condition that these players lose everything are the ones that could be called petty and selfish.
