I may not have a Mark of the Beta but I do have all sorts of no-longer-obtainable items which have high sentimental value (and in the case of my Lunchbox, actual usefulness). My main, to me, isn't just a random level 200 hero with too much dex and perma Sith-lord NX. It's quests, achievements, buddy list, guild and alliance, and yes, items collected along the way.
As for the items you've mentioned, I get it, I really do.
I have no-longer-obtainable items as well.
However, getting so sentimental over the objects in a game is just silly.

Those who are able to pour real-life money into the game, or hack/scam/exploit it, will quickly emerge on top again, and the poor will still be helpless to get even the most basic of gear. We see this in new worlds, with no MTS, everyone starts with 0 items and meso - and yet the same types always get ahead.A wipe would only help the game if Nexon was willing to crack down on most of those things you listed. Otherwise, you're right, it wouldn't do any good.
But, currently, the game is filled with items and mesos that simply should not exist.
The only way to truly eliminate them would be a wipe.
After the wipe, if Nexon were actually competent, it would be much easier to deal with anomalies.
I'm not sure why you mention scammers and NX-buyers. Neither of those are issues.
The former because they don't actually change the market (and everyone should know better) and the latter because their existence is intended.
NX items such as cubes exist for the express purpose of giving certain advantages to people who pay.
Whether or not the extent to which NX benefits them should be changed is a whole different discussion.
I honestly don't give a damn about who is "on top" in this game since, as you said, people can get ahead simply by throwing cash at the game.
My point was simply that, if Nexon felt that pressing a big reset button on the economy would help them stabilize it, I would understand that action, and it wouldn't hurt me terribly.
However...

Also, if they fixed,patched, and prevented every single type of exploit/hack/glitch that would surmise in the future. Buuuuut unfortunately imagination isn't reality. That will never happen. :|Exactly.
It's really a hypothetical non-issue since Nexon will never reach that point of reliability.
