While I think that taking 100% of their prestige before giving them a well-in-advance announcement is poor service, their reaction will almost certainly mean that no one in the right mind would do something that could remotely be perceived as an exploit in fear of getting punished. That, is worth way more to me than seeing people who did this exploit punished. They cannot rescind the punishment now, or the fear factor in the future will be gone.
You have no frickin' idea how many games I've played with my guild in which we decided not to do something that was quite obviously exploitative only to see it continue for 3 more weeks and end up with the devs fixing the problem without punishing those who massively profitted from it. Even the newer players with high prestige who recently joined, 100%, every single person, in my alliance managed to figure out that suiciding weak soldiers to inflate your prestige was extremely obviously unintended, and as such not one person got punished for it. I'm glad that, even though people are upset at it being a bit of a cheap shot, no one in the right mind will try to do anything suspicious anymore, in my eyes thats worth the meaningless stat of prestige anyway.
