That's not very good if you ask me.. I would hate to work hard for my money just to know that 10 percent of it, and a bunch of my items are just going to disappear. That would be even worse then getting a complete reset.
I for one would hate to lose anything for no good reason, especially to lose everything with an account wipe. Sometimes you have to think about what the players will think of the actions. Sure it might seem good economically and it might seem good in idea, but if you went and did an account wipe, you would have even angrier customers then the ones you have now that complain about the bad economy.
I'm sure people that have been collecting things and have like 1000 hours would quit playing all together if they got reset. I know I would. It isn't always about being "just a game".. to some people collecting the stuff and being super rich is their entire goal and the reason they play. If you take that away from them, it's like smashing a sculpture that someone had been working on for a year.
