Oh yup. I was totally enjoying Starbound, (I actually still do) but then there were so many wipes in short succession that I actually lost interest. Now I'm waiting until it is fully released and give it another go.
As for Grindea, I honestly dont mind a wipe there, if I think back how many times we've beaten stuff like Secret of Mana, all the time starting from zero and knowing it from the beginning to the end.
For me, its alot alot easier to start an RPG from zero multiple times then games where you build up your stuff and explore lots of worlds. (like Starbound, Terraria and overall strategy games)
