Personally, I'm all for a full reset. I don't see the big deal and the emotional attachment people have with their characters' progression is silly. Part of the experience of Destiny was starting from nothing and becoming what we are now. Giving us our old abilities and gear to start with would take away that experience in Destiny 2. Also, I think the only way to get the kind of balance that they've unsuccessfully been trying to achieve is to wipe the slate clean and start fresh with the idea of a balanced game behind their decision making. Let's just hope that D2 has an independent PvP mode this time.
