For once I will agree with you.
What isn't dead are players lying down when you tap them for what you think will be a simple Prestige hit. On some yes they will let it go or best yet hit back, but be careful. Players are still getting dropped 5 for 10 stam hits or even a deflect, then they play the forum, or bio, or Shoutbox warrior reaction which quite honestly just adds fuel to the fire. But I encourage players to continue playing the victim role, we need plenty of them to keep the game going.
I've lost my share of levels from prestige and I am more often as not a level or two down when I start my hunt. It's a hassle, but par for the course. I can accept that. I can accept a 10 stam tag back as well. Losing 5 levels for a 10 stam prestige hit or deflected attack is lame, though. It's one thing if I stole your gold, or smashed you on the board for no reason, but the punishment should fit the crime, and being hammered for a simple prestige hit is excessive and just not nice. Some folks take that 80K XP and the handful of gold that they lost to me way too seriously, though, and even some are under the impression that when I get 10 Prestige points, that they lose them.... Guys, you can only earn the prestige, and only by PvP... You can never lose them till you use them
Just my opinion here, so please, don't accuse me of whining (yeah, I hear you thinking it).
