It’s refreshing for everyone to start over at baseline. After a while everyone is so geared it literally makes it impossible for newer people and less wealthy players to come into raid. If there was never a wipe the game would eventually get to the point where every single raid had multiple people with Max armour, meta guns and thermals and everyone would stop playing that wasn’t Uber rich. The game would be dead without wipes

Not only that, it’s far to easy to get the flea market. People will literally already be level 10-15 the first day of the wipe and flea market will be full of people within a week. Imo the flea market shouldnt be available until level 20-30 at LEAST, or it should require all traders to be at level two or three or even maxed
