Tell me about your 10 yrs. I will raise you 4 more. Only I choose to level the skills that I like. I could have had 200m xp in wc and thieving many times over. After all, I know someone who managed to get to 200m thieving xp in 2 months, yes you heard that right, 2 months. The xp rates in the game today are so laughably high, you really think that getting half those skills to 200mxp takes that long? Getting 99 wc in rsc takes way longer.
Instead, I have made additional characters and chose to grind up from 1 to 99 instead, because it is much more difficult than hanging around doing pp or cutting crystal trees. In fact, I have 3 accounts that have 99s. There really is no point in getting 200m xp, although with prestige you will still get it anyways, because right now, you will just be another number that did it.
There is absolutely nothing in this game that is remotely difficult anymore. Apparently thousands of people would like the chance to relevel their skills again, it saves us having to make more additional accounts that we will play for a while, get to 99, then forget about. Many maxed characters, including Kingduffy, have expressed that they like this idea.

Those gains are made through no-lifing and account sharing, something that is unrealistic to most players. Yes, I'll agree that there are insane experience rates that were unseen 5 years ago, but you're given the option to make a new account, as you've done, to gain those levels the way you wanted to. With prestige you'll just be doing it on your account, with the option to go back to 99 whenever you like.
I don't really care if accomplished players vote yay or nay, I vote the way I want to. I've expressed my opinion over various posts - I've highlighted other opinions that would make Prestige more realistic to current and new players. And my brain just went fuzzy, so I'll leave it at that.
