You can whine all you want about loosing you stick of uberness but when it comes down to it, player skill should determine the outcome of a fight not special items.
I read your 2 post (multiple times) just so I understood where you are coming from. You call these people who have invested many hours to obtain "uber" items complainers if a whipe happens? I think their concern is very valid.

They have everything to lose while a new person (after wipe) has everything to gain. How is that fair?

Let's turn this around... I bet that if YOU were the Uber toon, you would throw a tatrum (sp) piss and moan if there was a wipe. Tell me I am wrong, please... I dont think so.

You used the term "skill"in your arguement. Fresh start does not automatically display skills at all. Ex: like 2 PkP level 1 toons with newb daggers going at it DOES NOT defines skills. Its a matter of who's HP will go down first due to who got to hit first (and margit stats class - duh).

Which illustrates the "fair" statement: say these 2 level 1 toons fight it out.... toon A is edging out toon B because of quicker intial start, just as toon B is about to die, toon B calls time out and say, "hey wait... let's start over." Toon A: WTH!

My point? Skill is a learned trait. How do you learn? Learned by playing over time. Therefore, people who have invested enough time are skilled. And if they dont learn, they move on. Thanks for reading. English isnt my fortade ... however I (hopefully) communicated my opinion clear.
