There are a couple reasons, but the most important one is that this problem has been passed through multiple administrations with different ideas on what to do. When Deo got it, there was pretty much no "new Era" plan, as far as I know. About the time I was hired, we managed to get Stefan to give us a Dev server (which is quite hard, actually), and Angel was made the development admin. I don't mean to flame Angel, but she didn't do anything. She came up with a plan for the overworld which made no sense, and refused to listen to anyone about it. When she eventually quit, I was able to start the real scripting, and that's where we are now. Sales has many new ideas, but we're able to adapt the stuff we have without starting over again like was done before.
Besides that, we have to do more than just make secure systems, we have to fix the problems with the economy and with Era as a whole. Duping/spawning isn't the only reason the economy is in trouble right now. Player businesses and other such things have also contributed greatly.
Resetting without fixing the problems that led to the reset would do no good. We'd just have to do the same thing in another few years.
