The Downfall of 2.0

[Javino]

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

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

I'm failing to see your premises that support the conclusion that failing to wipe data would result in a "downfall." I'm going to challenge you to list them off in a rough syllogism.

P1: yadayadayayada...
P2: yadayadayadayida...

And so on. Because I'm not seeing anything that flows into the conclusion. In fact, the only thing I'm seeing is a couple of informal fallacies...

If you're gonna whine because all your stuff is gone, then get over it

if you're gonna whine because other people have more stuff than you, then get over it

(you'll have to)

I think SE will go with the latter as it's clear they're doing everything to attract new players not necessarily appease the current small playerbase.

based on what, exactly? primal weapons: still in 2.0. GC weapons: still in 2.0. darklight: still in 2.0. relic weapons: still in 2.0. levels: progress saved in 2.0. gear/money: saved in 2.0. etc etc.

doesn't take much brain power to understand they're trying to both appease returning players and attract new ones. but as usual your posts completely miss the mark.

This makes about as much sense as saying everytime someone new joins the game. Everyone should have their character info wiped to preserve "balance." It's not fair that the new player would have to play catch-up with every else.
