'Mog Bonanza'-style rewards worth a total reset?

Nope, sorry. I plan on starting my character over when the game reaches a final launch-worthy state, so of course I wouldn't mind having some kind of massive bonus to start with... but personal greed aside, it isn't fair to the people who've been playing.

As Marcel Proust once said, "S-E shit the bed with FFXIV," and what was true in 1793 is just as true today. The game went retail, they're obligated to the people who bought it. So the broken economy left everyone who played with ludicrous amounts of gil and all crafts maxed, oh well that's just a fact.

FFXIV shouldn't have launched, but it did.

Short answer: no, Longer answer: Hell no, Snarky long answer: Its a bad idea, and you should feel bad about suggesting it.


Actual reasoning: Even if they took a flame thrower and pick axe to the effort we have put in up to this point. It would solve nothing in the long term. We would be right back in the same exact place a couple months down the road. and to further up this on the Bad idea-O-meeter. You suggest handing out an item that gives enough sp to take a class to 50? Did you think that through at all?

No really think about it, you are proposing that every thing get set back to square zero to even out the Economy and put every thing back on the level, with every one getting a free r50 card? Exactly how many people do you think would be foolish enough to not dump ever bit of that sp into a doh?

wipe so we all can start at zero again and stop RMT & Bots, i didn't laugh that hard in a while.
i'm sure of one thing tho, if they'd wipe us, there'd be more bot & rmt activity then ever, guess why lol.

Actually, I could see various other reasons why someone would want a reset, and ironically most of them do not have any negative tones attached to them. Just because someone wants the game to reset doesn't mean they are an idiot, or jealous.

The only way I would be okay with a reset is if the game fundamentally changed in such a way that a reset is required. To me, a lot of the issues with the game can be tweaked while keeping what currently is in the game in tact. Otherwise, I would like to think anyone who hard-earned their ranks, their gil & items, and most importantly their memories of playing will likely be angry and quit over losing all of that. :/

Yoshida-san already said that there wouldn't ever be a reset, so I don't expect to ever see one.
It wouldn't do any good to go back on his word. I would be curious to see the results if they did a poll asking if we'd accept a reset though.
I actually wouldn't mind losing everything and starting over when the game is in a better, more enjoyable state.
I don't care too much about resetting levels - it wouldn't benefit anyone, but I think it would do the game some good to get rid of all the gil in the game and start over fresh with leves and things fixed to not pay out massive amounts, and having some real gil sinks in the game.
