Another problem is the characters themselves. Economy aside, if the servers aren't reset (you never wondered why they save your character creation settings? Really?) then you're going to have alot of players running around fresh from the first story instance and alot of players sporting paragon crowns and very little in between. By resetting the servers everyone will start fresh from the first story instance and noone will be forced to have to trudge to catch up (also remember, PLing as we know it will hopefully cease to exist). We need server resets for 2.0. No other way about it.
