It's not the first game either to do resets. Most notable i would say Diablo 2, but there are probably other mmorpgs with that mechanic.
i had never minded the previous resets. there were reasons. but a reset for a faction winning with something and all have to follow that win? nah.
Ignoring the concept of a faction "winning", it's forseeable that the game world could need a reset without a major tech advance requiring a wipe.
Honestly, haven is a phoenix and it does need wipes every 9-16 months. If a world went past 12 months, at some point I still feel the devs would need to initiate a wipe.
