People overreacting to prestige reset to zero.
I think people need to chill out and look at what prestige really is.
Also no one got "punished".
Did evony take away your game cents or game items? no
Did evony downgrade your title or rank? no
Did evony take away your resources/army/buildings? no
What did they do? reset your prestige to zero... which means absolutely nothing.
Prestige is just an arbitrary number that means absolutely nothing when it comes to playing the game. Actually there are many times where prestige hampers how well you play... say for instance I build a launch pad city next to a player that I want to conquer, if I had 20k prestige the player probably wouldn't notice, but since I have over 400k prestige its going to send alot of red flags to the guy I'm trying to conquer.
So why is everyone freaking out when basically nothing in the game changed except for an arbitrary number?
Also one thing that I've learned from gaming, if you do something really really dumb and it rewards you... and you do it over and over... its probably an exploit and you'll probably get some kind of consequence in the future.
