Amporphoris only cares about his 200m's, next to that he doesn't care.
A reset on normal mode is 100% needed. Whoever says no cares about his own bank they most likely earned by staking too much. Everybody plays ironman/hardcore and I see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't reset. People could keep their stats/pets/untrades no problem, but hell yes this eco is totally ruined by the amounts of cash/items spread around the economy.
