The Downfall of 2.0

They didn't wipe all previous player data for the launch and insisted on keeping the Market Wards.

The End.

1/2 could potentially be the downfall.

Market Wards isn't that one.

Go away then.

You haven't even seen how it works yet.

Right... because wiping all of the data of current players would have made them really want to come back for 2.0...

Okay, I'll bite. Explain how this infers that the game will fail.

Market wards will suck unless they are completly redone, but they are not game breaking.

In my eye 4 things are threatening to kill off 2.0.

1) Regional Servers if the population in all regions is not large enough to support a game where it only functions 8 hrs a day. IF there is only 1000ppl online a day... the server economy will crash and the game will more or less die out quickly even if it is strong in other areas... see Aion.
2) Population boom and drop. It will happen. SE needs to immediately server merge once the new game noobs leave. (too many mmos wait too long to merge servers.)
3) Lack of Endgame
4) Extreme casualness. What is killing WoW off. Listening to the playerbase is good caving into them is the worst thing ever. The customer very seldom is 100% right, honestly I will go as far as saying the customer is never right. Company need to listen but not blatantly do what the masses demand or you get clones and dull/insta-win/no innovation content.

Hey guys who's your favorite DBZ villain?
Mines would be Ginyu Force.

All I'm saying is, there's a big deal being made about balance and restructuring. If they've practically made a whole new game, what's better to balance than starting everyone from the start. Also, everytime you start a new game, do you not begin with the bare minimum? As for past players (including myself), we've all played to this point and had fun. If you're gonna whine because all your stuff is gone, then get over it, people lose data in some form or another everyday. I'm also not saying the game will fail, I'm clearly stating we'll just see this come full circle again :)

wiping previous player data would be the downfall. Nobody wants to lose work. Why should they?

And there's nothing inherently wrong with the Market Wards. After all the updates, it isn't even much different from an auction house.
