The only people that no wipe benefits are the people that have a high rating due to exploits and will happily play no games to keep that rating. It happens in every ranking system that isnt actively monitored and hasn't implemented decay.
And those that have BARELY managed to climb the ranking ladder due to stupid 1.23 Eladwen and ppl exploiting different bugs that NEED to be fixed. I was also debating to posting to wipe rankings as well but changed my mind because of the time and energy invested already. No thanks on the clean slate. Cheaters will always find a new way to exploit. I hate the concept of "to punish the few you have to punish the many".
