RR wipe if they add new gear back to the RR of the previous top gear. Otherwise some people will insta-purchase potentially overpowered gear. Remember it was gear-flation that helped kill this game in live. Alternatively, rather than wipe they could make viable PVE farmable gear. Similar today how Ruin+Epics can make you very viable at 36 rather than stepping into T4 SC/RVR with green scrub gear. Live had a pretty poor scaling of gear.

For PQ Sets, it looks like the sets stop too soon. So EA/Mythic never bothered to add new sets of PQ farmable armor when they added new PVP sets;

Carnage
Havoc
Mayhem
Ruin (which probably sits at Annihilator, right?)

No progression in PQ gear past that compared to;

Decimator Armor
Obliterator Armor
Devastator Armor
Annihilator Armor
Conqueror's Armor
Invader Armor
Warlord Armor
Sovereign Armor
Warforged Armor

Dungeon Armor was;

Keeper's Armor
Redeye Armor
Bloodlord Armor
Sentinel Armor
Darkpromise Armor
Tyrant Armor

Obliterator = Keeper's
Devastator = Redeye
Annihilator = Bloodlord
Conqueror = Sentinel
Invader = Darkpromise
Warlord = Tyrant

So the PVP to PVE mirror meta-balance was broken with SOV and Warpforge. I think that's where the game failed on live by not offering a viable 'farmable' gear set to match the other sets so one could go either path and still be viable in the end.

These days you can toss on ruin and 'be viable' compared to Annihilator geared people which I feel gives this game a WAY better balance than it did on live. I'm unsure how people at EA/Mythic didn't understand that they shouldn't break the PVP to PVE mirror gear balance...

Let me explain, when we will get new gear like Warlord, Sovereign, Invader etc. some people with a R70 or higher will also have the currency as well to buy the best gear in one go. I can already see the topics on the forum: 'it's not balanced, 1 RR70 wipes our 6 group party' and so on. So, a full renown wipe no, but I'm not against a rollback.

No you are not the only one who thinks like this.

Destro shilling is now state approved occupation, I've find my new career : ^)

Although the job market in that sector is a bit oversaturated so I'll have to do my best!

There should be a poll so that people must choose between renown wipe or gold+item wipe.
There will be a counter that checks how many active accounts already voted.
If not all players voted in 24h, renown and gold+items are wiped.

You guys should seriously kneecap gold though, it's been a long time coming since the AH got bought out on both sides in t2 last year with the gold exploit.

I'm not in favor of a rr-wipe without reason, either. But I have to say that for a server in Alpha stage, and with the current gear limitations, I found the cap-increase to rr80 a strange move - simply because it forces the playerbase into focusing on a single toon, to stay competitive.

With a lower renown cap you would have had more people playing multiple toons more often - which I think would have been better for the overall purpose of testing class and balance changes.

State of the economy has been alright though, hasn't it? With the 30-day return policy, items no longer sit at ridiculous prices for too long. The gold generating done by fulfilling PvP quests will always remain a means of increasing inflation, the only real way to counter that is by making useful/necessary goldsinks. Either that, or force the top gold-hoarders to pump their gold back into the market economy of the AH by buying stuff they need/want.
