Will there be a total wipe & reset for Dust 514 commercial launch? Yes or No?

This has been asked and answered specifically, time and time and time again, here is just the latest article in which that question is answered. Note: THE FINAL sentence.

If there isn't... It'll be horribly imbalanced

This article is about the open beta. So far all that we know they could just mean that our stats won't be reset for the open beta.

All of the talk about last reset could just have been the last reset before the game's release. I just want confirmation from CCP

Here's your confirmation...

No, if this was the case no one new would ever be able to play Eve Online. Because guys who started from the beginning are like what 8 years ahead of people who would want to start playing now?

This is a quote I found in a forum regarding this train of thought, only it was directed towards Eve online, due to the VAST amount of skills, and the years it would take to acquire them in Dust, it still holds mostly true:

One of the common complaints(or at least they were common back when I was still playing... in EVE is that since the devs are always expanding the skills in the game, and since skills are learned in real time(and thus, unaffected by grind), new players will never ever be able to catch up with veterans who have been playing since the beginning. What these people don't realize is that, after a point, the advantage gained by veterans becomes one of breadth, not depth. That is, for any one role there are only so many relevant skills, and new players that do their research and focus can max out a role of their choice, thus becoming just as good(at least in the skill set) as any veteran. The veteran will just be able to wear more hats than you

We're possibly going to be separated from all the noobs via matchmaking anyway. I don't see what all the fuss is about us being ahead, and it's probably why they're going to give us that 100k - to push us even further away from them via matchmaking.
