Fun, that's right. And I needed the money to get my character where it is now.
From a Starflier to there it had been about a year of gameplay for me, often supported by my girlfriend. Guess what, I'm a working studying person, having family.... If I would loose the many manhours I had to spent to get my ship and character sorted, then I would not be spending them again.
In more concrete Words: I would quit Disco.
Therefore something more constructive:
Single players having more resources than whole guilds is really a little bit much.
But whiping all CHARACTERS (there is a difference between character and player) would just support those players that have no social life to attend.
You would rather loose people like me, than those that just need to spend one week of work to rebuy what ever they want.
So if the admins (not you) would insist in a character whipe,
I would suggest to leave everyone his most valuable character, meaning the one with the highest level.
In that way, everyone may choose his/her favorit character to by deleting the others.
Luckily there had been no character whipe for long, so multi accounts can easily be filtered out by respective database operations.
