The writers at Forbes are idiots to suggest it.
If you're going to make us start over then you need to drop the ranking up and progression completely and turn this into a Halo type experience.
If we're going to grind, progress and build our guardians over multiple paid expansions then you need to let us continue with our Guardians we're investing all this time into.
Honestly the fact that these writers at Forbes are suggesting a reset is complete crap. If you want a fresh start you can delete and make a new Guardian any time you want. Don't force that bs on others who are invested in their Guardians.
Thank-you

They are just stats with avatars at this point. None of them have personality or any actual impact on the story bits that were included with this game. I'm fine with either way losing them or keeping them. It really makes no difference, even maintaining the stats would be a waste unless the sequel is just a new coat of paint. If the sequel is drastically different PvE and PvP wise then a clean slate may be the better option. Personally I don't care and don't waste your time telling me to "delete your characters then" like you told someone else who disagreed below. I'm sure people will all decide for themselves when the sequel is released.
