This is actually the (almost) perfect time.More and more people are leaving to TLAmk2 because of it's promise of blackjack and hookers.Sooner or later they will start missing 2238.That,is the time the wipe should happen IMO.
What then would wipe bring?
Still same problem remains:
Big faction will know how to get stuff, and they'll take Tree's earlier so they get free stuff.
Farming encounters like BoS or Enclave is brain crippled.
Ways to get bluerpints are annoying, not funny, and challenging.
Glow and Ares got broken and only veterans find stuff here, because they do it regulary.
