Honestly I think that a good balance would be to have GEAR be carried over, but have all your stats be reset, becuase I know that there is some gear out there that is harder to get, honestly I LOVE my gear, but I wouldn't mind having to start over my stats, as long as I could end up keeping my gear. Weather that be the gear people put in Vaults, or just keep the gear you have on your character. *shrug* I just think that would be a better balance and or reward for those who took the time to reserve and play in the beta.
