A wipe isn’t going to solve anything because no new silver was added to the economy, nor was any item duped. I don’t think you actually understand what happened. People were buying Founder’s Pack, buying tokens with the TP and getting refunds on their payments, thereby getting TP for free. They used this TP to buy tokens and sell them. They used the silver they obtained and passed it to another account through the market.
The only thing generated was tokens. The economy is far from screwed and IMC has made a statement saying they are working with Valve and looking into punishing these players. They added countermeasures to bypass the refund grace period (three days) temporarily.
Your reasons for wanting a wipe makes no sense. Your opening post flat out calls people selfish. You’re not a developer. You have no idea how IMC is capable of tracking anything so saying things like “they will only ban empty accounts” is probably the stupidest thing you can say on the matter. You have absolutely no idea what kind of system they have in place for tracking transactions and to claim that they are unable to tell what team has refunded their Founder’s Pack yet used TP is actually very silly.
Your reasons for wanting a wipe are poorly researched and frankly a knee-jerk reaction. You spread fear, paranoid and frankly this thread is very toxic. You have absolutely no data on Founder Pack purchases versus refunds, no data on token movement. Everything you say is speculation. I won’t call this thread useless because you succeeded in causing a massive debate on something that will not happen. You have no idea, none whatever, so why a wipe would end this game. The public image, the outrage, the amount of people who would seek out chargebacks, everything would go downhill as a result of your solution.
This thread only spreads ignorance and while I did say I was leaving, this had to be said. Your thread will continue to thrive until IMC has to step in and pretty much tell everyone that this exploit will not lead to a wipe. When they do, you will still demand a wipe, with little to no knowledge on this game’s economy nor the impact of actually having an excess amount of tokens (which was likely used for RMT purposes anyways).
Please whisper a staff member and ask them to delete this thread. At least spare yourself any further embarrassment.
EDIT: Also you want tokens to be untradeable? You’ve just guaranteed that IMC will not take anything you’ve said in the OP seriously. Congratulations.
