How is a wiped nether going to fix the "issue" of the place looking griefed, ugly, old, and abandoned? There is really not much benefit to resetting the nether at this point that doesn't fall under, "I just want to be able to see quartz ore so I can mine easily and safely".
I say if the nether is EVER reset it should be when microcraft decides to do something more with it. Whether that be add new structures or new block/ore type that can only be obtained with newly generated terrain. Even then though, Intelli did do a super job "injecting" quartz ore into the nether so the need would be debatable at best.
Apart from that the nether is just really a travel dimension. For utility more than anything else, and I think you'll all agree with me when I say yeah, it shows. Just like NYC subways, it may not look like the Concord but it'll get you to where you're going. Its because of this that people have had their paths of ice and otherwise set up for years. To redo all that would be difficult, and shouldn't be done unless we come to the decision that we have to sacrifice it in order to obtain what, if anything, gets added to the nether. A sort of pros outweigh the cons situation.
Plus, if you're going to argue that a reset of the nether would enable people with less resources to get quartz. If I recall correctly, pretty much every piece of exposed quartz ore was extracted from the nether by the wealthiest individuals/guilds on the server in the first few days, and most of it was gone in the first few hours. If it were to happen again those people with less resources would most likely be killed constantly by others more well geared.
Theres still plenty there, if you've got the resources and the time to look for it. Otherwise, save up, find a seller, and keep the headache of traversing the nether out of your mind.
