Everybody waiting for Wipe

Well you could cut out the scav run and be progressing twice as fast... So I'd say that is your choice.

The other thing I'd wonder is, have you been playing every day doing 2 runs since the launch of this update? That would total a couple hundred runs, which is enough to be well past level 28.

Even if someone feels like they're behind and don't want to restart, they wont just 'catch up.' The only way you'll 'catch up' is to have everyone be forced to restart... in which case you'd lose less than most. Why not hope for a wipe as well and be on even ground with everyone else? I guess it just comes down to perspective...

Now nothing you said is exclusive to new players, but I assume you're actually just a new player, not simply a 'casual' player (or whatever you want to call yourself.) I think new players will be SHOCKED at how much faster they can progress after a wipe compared to their first attempt. They think they're going to lose all the progress, but every time you wipe, you get back to where you were much fast. I cannot stress this enough. 200 runs this time gets you to level 28. Next time 200 runs gets you to level 40+.
