I don't see a realistic way for us to keep our sp or more so isk.

You'd be back, don't deny it

imagine all you want cause it aint happening, the ip for legion was dropped

So many other sequel games get developed for, at the time, next gen consoles. There's no reason why they can't do it, and it's not money. CCP is just cheap and lazy. Sorry about the fact that I'm not sorry

If my 87m sp and 675m isk were wiped I would burn this mother down.

Honestly, first phone call is sony, to see how far back I can get money returned for being lied to.

I mentioned this the other day when someone tried to have that conversation.

In Eve CCP deals directly with the credit card companies who will allow them time to fight the charge back and since it is digital goods which they have proof that that person is online using them they will generally win.

In Dust CCP's money is at the mercy of Sony who does not give a damn about letting CCP fight it because they only care about their own image and the fact that they are not going to fight the charge back with the credit card company or ultimately take the hit on the charge back and charge back fees. CCP learned this lesson in a big way after the FF disaster. It is very possible that this is why they are so quiet because another flood of charge backs to Sony would likely spell disaster for any future console plans by CCP.

If I wanted to start again I would make a alt.

How about the money we spent on this game?

So lets imagine legion happens and dust moves to PC,PS4, ZX Spectrum, whatever. You log in and discover that your characters progression has been wiped and everyone has been reverted back to noob status.

The devs announce that they decided to wipe the slate clean and completely start again with the progression and the economy.

I personally wouldn't mind even though my main currently has 35 mil SP and just over 130 mil ISK.

Pros
- Assuming a reboot brought an influx of new players the community wouldn't start off split between old high SP players and noobs.
- The economy could be properly managed this time as everyone would start poor again as opposed to another divide of the have and the have nots.
- You wouldn't be fighting the same people day in day out which would be the case if you progression moved over. Think about it, assuming CCP would be smart enough to separate noobs and vets this time, you'd just end up fighting the same small group of players you are now while all the low SP players would get that glorious new game experience of a community ranking up together.
- The game would be new and fresh again. Tired of your ugly ass Minmatar prison... err I mean quarters? Nows your chance to switch race.
- I cant stress this enough...the community wont be split day one between bitter vets and noobs.
- Devs are free to make changes to how progression works without having to accommodate players with 100 mill SP.

Cons
- Your current progression would be lost (I know people have put a lot of time and money into their character)
- Devs would have to think of a way to reward vets for their loyalty to Dust without breaking game balance (Perhaps unique skins or Quarters for every 10 mil SP a dust merc has).
- The knowledge that you would rage and throw a tantrum but them calm down and fall in line

How would you react? and would you still play if you had to start again?

I would be on black ops 3 if they wiped my char

The game would eventually have to be balanced for extreme gaps in skill points, such as the case now. Resetting would only be a temporary stopgap.

I totally understand why you would feel that way, but remember this would essentially be a different game. Hopefully it would feel fresh and different enough that it wouldn't be such a grind for you.

How about you don't post on an alt?

100% agree

i wouldnt mind if they wiped everything but id prefer if they would just wipe all of our isk for everything so atleast that way we can still have our sp, but we would just have to regain our isk since sp took time, money and many many hours to get.

Hmm...

Personally, I find that grinding itself is fun: it's even more fun than actually having all the SP. If the new game was exactly that - a brand new and completely different new game - then there would be less pressure on CCP to refund everyone for Boosters and Aurum too...
