Fresh retail start

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.

AH yes, it was designed that way, and why is it not the same anymore? Hmmmm? Mind boggling isn't it. Sadly as you say it GTFO, means soon you wouldn't have to worry about them reseting anything. I've seen that passed around like candy and to be truthful. XIV can't afford for anymore people to gtfo. A lot of new players will find something wrong and not be joining. Don't fear though! When there's no one left just you and you're linkshell (just you) on release. Can gtfo~

On topic yes new servers would solve a lot of problems. I would def re-roll to get off these destroyed servers.
