The problem you have with the official servers, is a handful of clans rule the roost and have hoarded all the limited spawn loot. Meaning cars, trucks, weapons. They're all hidden away in a base somewhere in woodland, so as long as they're still playing, you might get some bug reports made. But for the majority of us, it's just pointless roaming around an empty map with few or no spawns anywhere.
A fresh update, which are now 12 months or so apart, requires a fresh wipe. I mean this is supposed to be 'experimental' after all. I can't think of a single reason to not start afresh, other than keeping those handful of clans happy. You want people to help report bugs and offer suggestions, but we're working with an 'empty' map. I don't get it.
