Alright, I know what you're all thinking after that title... "What about my amazing home and op farm that I've spent so long on! Now I don't need to do anything to make so much money and spam levels for my jobs!" and that's what I'm gonna talk about.
Now, the server has had a long time to develop and manage itself since the last reset, so now people are at different stages of development. But one thing I've noticed is that there's a large portion of us that have hit a large milestone (and roadblock) which is the master rank. Quite a few of us have reached a point where days are just a number that show when we joined, and ranking up to master just requires that pesky dungeon maze, but after you reach the top what do you do? Wait around for the next cool plugin to come out? Help out any players that need it, although there are also others for that... Anyways what I'm trying to say is that we're running out of things to do. Once upon a time we all would compete for who was the best player, and I just don't see that type of motivation in any of us anymore. We kinda just sit there and talk about "oh how's work been?" "fine, yours?" etc. etc. You get what I'm saying.
I don't think we need an expanded border, although that would be an amazing thing to implement for a wipe, I think we need a complete reset, no money, no ranks, just donor ranks and the day counter (with a separate counter made for days since reset). That way we can have it so there's no op shops that sell some essential things for very cheap prices, and there's no more lazing around for people who can just buy whatever they want. Take jencrafter for an example. She was a very dedicated player, who was very focused on being the best. That is exactly what she did, and did very fast. She reached over 1k in every mcmmo skill, reached $28 million (2nd behind Rollie's $58 million) and left, no more jen, no more trying, because there was nothing else to do.
I realize it's not a popular opinion, so I'd appreciate if any comments posted aren't too hateful, thank you for reading my opinion on what should happen.

No one is making you buy from shops. Maybe some people don't have your skills to be 100% independent and could use some help from the more experienced players so they too can enjoy playing and progressing.
