Face it, the game is totally broken right now with the RMT and bots running rampant and exploiting the crap out of it. The class/job changes will anger some who expected to be leveling one job but instead get stuck with one they didn't want, the upcoming class restrictions on gear will load down some players with useless items, and the elimination of physical levels will likely result in further tweaks to gear already in possession of players.

Some people are going to be outraged no matter what, so why give them the medicine all at once? A reset needs to be done just to free this game from the baggage of its former design.

However, to compensate, all the current players should be given a prestige item that would give the equivalent of ~50 lvls (or more) of exp to divide between classes however they choose and some elite gear/weapons or Gil rewards to choose from (think FFXI mog lotto)

As we have all been playing the game for free, I feel it is a fair trade-off that would give players and especially the economy a fresh start in the new world.

But sadly, most people will be highly opposed it this and considering Yoshi's comments, there is a slim-to-none chance that this will ever happen..

Still...
You know, I'm actually fairly opposed to a data wipe but if it's something like this I probably wouldn't really mind as much...

This is really not a bad idea.

(Note : IF se implemented it in that way, which knowing them they would royally eff up)
