Unless this is a second account for whatever reason, you've only been here for one world reset so far: this one. This is how the game goes every time? Why? Listen to the vets, and they'll tell you. Yeah, people play this game, every world reset, that number at the start of the new world keeps getting bigger and bigger. My first world reset, it was barely over 1000. No, it's not a fast growth, but people really do want to see what comes of this game that is still in development.

Margins, that's what the bots get... margins. I have to agree (at least on the games where you can trade the good gear). Then again, the raid vets and such then whined about those that bought gear and crap and don't know how to play (and ninja looting the good gear to then sell it on auction), so everything in theme park MMOs went bind on pickup.
