A great point and nice suggestion on the current state of the game. I agree completely with you things need to be done but I'm not for the resetting part (and secretly against any system that forces me to level up lol) . What we probably need is a new war system that is actually worth fighting with rewards and all, like cartels can declare war on other cartels that's within lets say 30% of their rep, events for most attacks, most rep  etc to encourage fights and also my personally sort after revamp of the attack system to be more tactical and interactive instead of the current system that you have no control over how you fight your fight. But I believe in D and I'm sure there will be a lot of very cool things to come  

I upvoted and do like the idea behind it, however I'm afraid it could widen the gap between larger and smaller players.  

You might have something interesting though 

I would maybe tie this to the reputation, not level, as some people clearly wants to stay low level. On the other hand - this would be a possibility to lower your level :)

Also speaking of stats loss and bonus gains - this would clearly benefit the smaller stat players as the gains of 50m stat and 500m stat are the same due to gains cap. But prestiging would reduce stat by 5m and 50m respectively. To get that 50m back you will need 10times more energy... Lets take the last prestige and 100b stats(it will surely take a lot of time to reach lvl 100 :D) - you lose 30b. Even with combined 80% increase for gains - it will take around 2 years just to come back to 100b

IMO together with this, stat gains system should be reworked as well :) or benefits should be so good that you would be willing to sacrifice a long hard earned stats

Why would you gain 100b stats knowing you are going to lose stats?

Also perhaps with each prestige you are able to level faster not necessarily tied to achieving more rep from fights. Just lower the amount needed. 

It's a really interesting approach as an alternative to going the SE route.

Where else can I put all my energy while trying to level up? Attacking? 

Sounds like another REP/INT grind - don't train until you have max prestige 

Prefer higher level productions to chase rep gains / attacks or a war system for rewards that are not territory related.
For example a tournament  

Prestige 30

• Passive stat bonus scaling increases

• Gym gains bonus unlocked (e.g., +X% per prestige after 30)

Purpose: Shifts focus from passive power to active training growth.

Prestige 40

• Increased Alcohol Energy efficiency

More Energy gained per alcohol use

Reduced cooldown or improved effectiveness (balanced accordingly)

Purpose: Expands viable energy strategies.

Prestige 50

• Increased Drug Energy efficiency

Higher Energy returns from drug usage

Scales per prestige level

Purpose: Adds late-game optimization depth.

Prestige 60

• Enhanced Gym Gain Scaling

Increased % gym gains per prestige beyond this point

Designed for ultra-long progression players

Prestige 70

• Maximum efficiency tier

Fully optimized gym scaling

Maximum energy return scaling

High-risk, high-reward build (significantly reduced base stats but extreme growth potential)

Balancing Considerations

• The 10% stat reduction per prestige ensures:

Prestige is not mandatory

High prestige players must commit to a growth strategy

Immediate combat dominance is sacrificed for scaling

• Energy efficiency scaling should be capped to avoid breaking refill economics.

• Gym gain increases should scale progressively (diminishing returns curve recommended).

* Bonus Reputation gains to level up faster with each prestige.

What if you can only attack players one level below your prestige rank
