I'm on 154 also, not much higher prestige then you are. I've been torn down by monsters about every 3 or 4 days for the past two weeks. I should be hitting 10's by now, but I keep getting knocked back. It's just part of the game bud. Yes, they have a big lead, at first, but all you have to do is keep at it, get a few breaks and get built up to where they can't tear you down every other day. I feel your pain, really I do, and I'm going through exactly what you are going through, on the same server, by the same players as you are. I'm a farm, but not for long. If I stay a farm, it's nobody's fault but my own.
