There where two post by EHG around this time. The one with the mid season reset didnt speing up untill they got backlash about reseting due to it.
I remember it cuz i even posted on that thread saying if its about the gold exploit just reset the economy not the whole season. As well as others sayinf the same thing.
It was a couple days later they anounced the reset pole that lasted 48 hrs
Might take me a bit to find it unless they deleted that post. At work currently hard to dig for stuff right now
There was a LOT more than just resetting because of the dupesâŚ
Yes, they initially announced the wipe along with announcing the Event, but there being a dupe was the smallest of all the reasons they decided for a wipe.
Then, after playerâs feedback, me included, saying it was absurd for them to decide on a Wipe mid-cycle without asking for players feedback on this decision, they made a new announcement with the Poll, letting players decide what actions they should take. And the majority of players decided for a complete wipe.
Yes, that is more or less what I remember. The main reason for the reset wasnât the exploit but rather adding some new stuff (and, honestly, to try to keep us entertained for a little longer while we waited).
