Sorry if a Prestige Class isn't the form you prefer, but it's really not your call whether people explore it or not, or whether it gets adopted or not.  Not to mention that the arguments you've expressed are more likely to energize people to pursue a Prestige Class, rather than deter them...</blockquote>
