The ethical thing to do

There should be a complete wipe or give everybody that has spent real money on this game their money back. This is the only way this issue should be addressed. And with the wipe make sure your coding is correct before you put this back online as playable. The way things stand right now Cryptic and PW should be turned in to the BBB For fraudulent business practices.

Heh, I don't see what your preferences have to do with ethics, but I do note your dash of hyperbole.
Assuming that PWE has fixed the exploit (which is a stretch, but), how do you presume they would "repeat and gain even more"?
What ever the next exploit, people wanted a wipe over the last one, assuming we got that wipe, now we would have to wipe again, that only hurts the honest players. As I said, they made CASH, they will not lose that cash during the wipe so it doesn't hurt them at all, and they'll just find something else to exploit.
Pretty doubtful that the "can of worms" caused by a wipe could be any worse then outright fraudulent business practices. To know of such an exploit since closed beta and do nothing about it, release an open beta with it so you can gain from the exploit as a company, costing loyal customers and your client base actual money and making the money they did spend worthless in the game is shameful at the least ... fraudulent at worst.
This^ if you read the chat in the live streams that were showing the exploits it was very apparent that exploiters wanted the wipe, it seemed like that was the whole point of it, to force a wipe. The thing is a wipe isn't going to bring back the banned accounts and cryptic isn't done tracking the offenders down it would seem.
I say that as I gave them substantial amounts on the basis of 'no wipes' that wiping would be a 'fraudulent business practice'.
But if they want to refund my credit card every cent (not AD, not Zen but cash) I've given them I'm happy to completely walk away from this and any other past, present and future PW product and they can wipe away.
Failing that I expect them to hold to the promise they made.
PWE already have an F in BBB. it cant get worse than that. thats the company that all this poor idiots are giving their money to
Take the 3 broken servers and lock them into being unable to transfer anything to the new, clean servers. Probably just combine them into 1 server, since their population is going to be a small portion of people who hate challenges.
