I'm somebody who basically lives for the grind, and I wish there would be an option to 'dry' prestige after achieving the max possible rank for a perk. Even if the reward is lessened/not given, I'd still like to go from 1-25 on my maxed out perks, because after hitting 25 I have like no drive to play as that perk anymore. Maybe it's a me thing. Even before prestiging was in the game I would just wipe my progress to start all over again because I think leveling up is fun.
