He might not have a good reason, or just does not have the time, will or patience to bother explaining him self to someone who isn't even on the server?
Tho i'll answer you, a wipe at this point would do NOTHING. The things people bitch about are mainly three things:
- Bug exploitation.
- Mining exploitation.
- High drop rates.
So lets address each of these in regards to a wipe shall we?
1.Bug exploitation.
The main bug that was/has been exploited was a way to stack an exp and damage buff, first done in bug cave and then again in mineral mine. Some players used this to level faster then other players and on the whole had no real impacted on the server because levelling is so god damn fast anyway. A wipe would just mean they would need to spend at most two weeks to get back to level 40.
2.Mining exploitation.
This was where at the beginning of the server they had two big issues left unaddressed. The first part being that you could mine afk in one spot and as long as your pickaxe had durability you could get ore, as such people would just mine afk for plat to spam make gems. The second part was the fact you could connect to the server with an unlimited amount of accounts which you can read more about and see the obvious implications
in this thread. A wipe would remove some of the higher stated items made with these gems from game but as people level and find higher level items the current "super items" will be less then super.
3.High drop rates.
This is an issue but with a low population the drops rates needed to be increased and they have across the board for boss and random mob drops, even with a wipe this would not be changed just some people who did get lucky the first time round might not the second time round. This has been done from what i can see so that players like my self that don't boss hunt can still have a chance to get good gear. A wipe would not change a damn thing about this.
Now take into account that the team is working towards content for level 45+ that was not in the mir2 that we know and will (don't think for a second it won't) have new bugs and exploits and issues to come with it, if the team went ahead with a wipe now they would need to do it again and again to keep the server "fair". Tho who the hell would player of a fair server that's empty because the players came to the conclusion that a wipe would be happening every time new content was added to the game?
A wipe is completely unfeasible at this time as all it will do is kill the player base to remove minor and they are just that minor issues.
Also note that the team as mentioned by Baby Hack have no intention of a wipe.
Think that's all the points covered.
