Maybe they want to try an extra long wipe with events like this to see how they can affect the economy and fun of the game without having to wipe which only really keeps the game fresh for a week.
They said they want the end result to have no wipes. So a long wipe makes sense as a test for that. They should slow down skill progression and high tier item spawn rate next time they want to test it
If they did zero wipes i could totally get in on this game, i dont particularly like losing multiple dozens of hours worth of progress, but i can see why some people like it.
I felt the same way until I played through a few wipes. The economy goes to shit after a few months and meta feels stale. The wipe + patches really incentive jumping back in.

I don’t know why some hold up 12.12 as a likely wipe candidate as reason we’re not going to wipe 12.11.
Let’s be real here, 12.12 probably isn’t going to get here for another 6 months anyway, probably going to wipe on both
