k, I got over 200mil prest, I'm from server 60, however I did work hard for my prest. to be able to gain so much prest you have to be able to build up huge amount of troops. so you have to have like 9 cities to start with to be able to build up then give away your cities to friends to hold.
I fully agree that prest is just a number, however if you also have the highest hero on the server then it make others think twice if not 3 times before messing with you.
