Dev Blog - Prestige

I actually like this idea even if it means all the the time and gp I spent getting 30m craft or 57m cook or 20m in various skills means nothing now (on the prestige highscores). I would prestige... *I think*... have to read more into it all before actually committing to that but it sounds fun to start it all over again essentially and not only need 13m but 26m to get 99 the second time around.. or is it still 99 at 13m but you need to gain 26m to get the next prestige... still need to actually read or watch this devblog, haven't done either yet.

If my understanding is correct the regular highscores will still be there and still show me as rank 400 something in craft no matter what my prestige or anyone else's prestige is, it's just the prestige highscores that will show me as a far different rank.

I also feel this will be pretty good for the economy being people will need all that cash for the prestige ranks in skills like summon, construction, herblore, etc... AND on the other side all the product coming into the game from the produce skills.

The only thing I don't like about it much at the moment and this is just me bitching :p!! is the fact that folks with billions of gold already banked or even a few hundred million will have a far better advantage in buyables than others unless we spend the time from now until release making as much gp as we can. Can't bitch much though as some of those people legitimately made that gp and spent hours doing so.

Edit: On another note I can see a good amount of gp to be made here if you were to buy and save the right materials now and sell them when this update goes through as the big wave of people resetting to knock out this first prestige should be massive and many of them will start buying up stuff to knock out the easy buyables right away.
