Prestige Dumping?

[BertandErine]

that is the only reason pres. dumping does you dont get any bonuses from low pres. in any way. Its only to fool people but like you said all you have to do is scout so its not very effective, same with pres. farming.

[BoozeHound the NewsHound]

Another use is anti-robbing. If you reinforce or send resources to a player with 3 x your prestige you get robbed. This is to counter feederaccounts.

This is the reason I've always heard for prestige dumping

[gutta]

they prestige dump probably cause people are being targeted so they drop prestige to get them off their backs

[WerldEeeter]

its so people dont know how long they have been playing (longer play time more troops) so if people dont know that they may say "hey ima go hit this guy" and the host says "how big is he?" and the player says " oh he's only 500k" and then you run into a dreadnaught and your pwnt

Well said.

[Lord_Folkenlake]

I guess it's a way of concealing the player's status as a city needs to be scouted before telling how fortified it is. A lot of big players have been doing this, as a lot of noobs fall into their trap of underestimation. Again, as I have always said, the numbers don't really have much of a reputation here. Mostly,it's about "victory" or "defeat" in the war reports.
