If you'd like to give up your time, money and assets go ahead. Me, I've put an immense amount of time and money into suits, Aur, and boosters.
^ Same.
I've supported CCP and DUST's development over the years by buying active & passive boosters. I don't need the SP (just shy of 100M), but I do it anyway. A RESET would be a slap in the face for my financial support. I would not spend another dime on DUST.

Not to say that I agree with the idea, but an asset wipe & refund (like the one we had following open beta) would be different. It'd likely PO those who've stockpiled officer gear, but it'd be far less offensive than a full reset.
A reset would kill DUST. All the time and money we've invested, down the drain ... this is a terrible and dangerous idea.

Like this:
* Kill a merc with more SP than you, receive a small bonus to EOM SP earnings.
* Kill a merc with substantially more SP than you, receive a substantial bonus to EOM SP earnings.
* Kill a merc in higher meta gear than yours, receive a small Isk bonus EOM.
* Kill a merc in substantially higher meta gear than yours, receive a substantial Isk bonus EOM.
Given enough time and activity, newbros would begin to close the experience and wealth gap which separates them from veterans. This could make for rapid, activity-focused and performance-driven career advancement.

I'd sacrifice all of it to be able to play a "gg"
Would you be willing to sacrifice HP Pools / Slow TTK for the same result?
As a newbro, I killed vets and protobears regularly in Chromosome. Don't get me wrong; I'd lose more often than I'd win, but they'd go down reliably when I managed to get the drop 'em. The same doesn't happen today, and I suspect power creep is to blame. We've voted for ourselves too many free passes in the forms + Slots and HP buffs ... and it seems more likely than not that CPM2 is pushing us further in the wrong direction.

7v12 games have little to do with the existence of veterans or wealth. Veterans and wealth have existed since Beta; the "Leave Battle" problem and the resulting lopsided matches are a relatively new development.
We can solve these problems without going full Spkr.

How does hiding our eyes from problems resolve any problems?
Asinine Ideas
* Obscuring Leaderboards
* Hiding Player Names
* Removing KDR
* Resetting SP
Better Ideas
* Finding healthy ways to incentivize participation
* Further improving class and weapon balance
* Addressing officer spam Check!
* Narrowing the TTK gap which separates noobs from vets
* Improving NPE and building the playerbase
* Working the kumbaya kinks out of end-game play

You realize those guys leave because they care about their K/D right?
You want more participation then give them a reason stay not a reason to leave battles. If they feel like it affects a number other people can see they will behave appropriately.
You make a list that is solved by both the suggestions made, but since you don't like how they affect you personally you discount them.....That is asinine kid.
The reality is there will be no reset unless there is a port or even tracking of stats that matter, but that does not make them any less the right answer.
I realize that there are a number of potential paths to consider which range in quality from highly effective to might work to fantastically stupid. Hiding our eyes from symptoms with high hopes that doing so will resolve underlying issues ... that falls into the latter category.
There are smart options available to us. Why not consider them?
