I can't think of a reason why the devs would want to "avoid" having level 50's generate extra prestige. It sounds like a perfect reward for maxing out your character, to me.

Why would you want anything other than level 50's in your SG then?

Because those other non-level 50's are your friends too?

Why would you want level 50s in your SG then? If a SG in the group is getting shafted by no xp and yet nothing to compensate, and they can getdouble influence/infamy, why not kick them out for players that will be have a reason to be active?
OK, double-prestige may be too much. But, instead, how about "when earning no xp, you additionally earn as much influence/infamy as if you weren't in SG mode. So, instead of XP + Prestige, it's influence + Prestige.
It'll stop ripping off the 50s, and those who exempler. Right now, having a 35+ character exemplering is a double rip-off. Not only no xp and no influence, no enhancement drops to sell for influence.

Because there was way too much influence floating around CoH to begin with, which is why they invented the prestige/ influnce(infamy) sink.
There were several level 50's in CoH with Billions of influence, thus the DEV's learned their lesson and made it prestige or influence(infamy).
In addition, the created the SG trade rate of 1,000,000 influence(infamy) for 2,000 prestige.
The exchange rate seems ludicrous for a normal player, but to an old timer who has 100's of millions, or even the few that have billions of influence, then they can actually get something for their SG for their hard work.
This is one of the main reasons all the prices for base stuff is so high. They want to make sure that no SG was able to get the pinnalce base and items in under two months.

If people were as passionate about the Constitution of The United States of America as this thread, maybe we wouldn't have such a crappy president and a crappy government handjobbing such a crappy president and so much drama on a website.
