You may want to clarify just exactly what you mean by "exploit", and if you meant the fail-leve-and-redo-next-cycle, just gtfo, the system was designed that way. Was it imbalanced? sure, but saying people who played according to the system were exploiting... yea, whatever. also, I grinded my craft and gathering the hard way, you'd have to pry those levels out of my cold, dead fingers.

and no, it wouldn't be in the best interest for the new players, as a wipe will just kill off the game instantly on the spot, leaving the new players with no game to play.
