I completely understand your frustration, but the full wipe was not only necessary, it was a choice the community was heavily involved in. It was not a choice we made easily either.

The RE developers decided to stop supporting RE1 and instead focus on RE2, and a majority in the HWS community asked us to switch as well.

We made lots of announcements, and we had a poll about how the community would have liked to transfer from RE1 to RE2, especially in terms of OCD. A lot of people voted for a full OCD Wipe.  
We have had lots and lots of announcements about the wipe, including this one, which described everything in detail: [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/216919452674031617/268062984671068160/1258369015475339274)  
Besides that, it’s also been mentioned many times ingame, in other parts of the Discord server, and here in the forum.

The full OCD Wipe was by no means a fast or easy decision, and therefore the community was also brought in on it.

That’s not something I would recommend, but it’s your choice. But if you don’t keep up, you can’t expect to have an influence on how HWS is run 🙂  
Rex reads basically all feedback that the community gives and considers it, and with enough support from the community, a lot of things can get changed eventually.

You have unfortunately misunderstood the purpose of HWS if you see it this way 🙂 Every donation is voluntary, and everything can be achieved from playing ingame.
