Why is the prestige system kinda bad?

[DarkMagic]

You either get 10% hunter EXP until your prestige again, only 2k hunt dollars, or a skin. It's obvious you would only ever select the skin and maybe when you hit the final prestige you select the 10% so you have that forever but I feel like it should be way better. When you prestige you should get perm bonuses like 2% EXP bonus to bloodline, hunter, and hunt dollar gain permanently so at 100 prestige it's 200% or make it 1% so it's just double once you get there. I don't really understand why you don't make each prestige faster then the last even just slightly. Especially when you have quests requiring certain weapons that unlock way later. I would love to get to prestige 100 someday but I feel like there is no real reason to prestige especially when you get paired against other hunters that don't prestige sitting at 100 with oodles amount of cash and everything unlocked while I'm using starter gear, I know you can easily beat them if you get a head shot but if that's all it was then the PVP encounters would be boring and no one would use any other gadget.

I just feel like if I put in the time and effort into a prestige and purposely put myself at a lower disadvantage of not having a lot of cash to use juiced load outs or have access to gear or variants that would have otherwise mean I would of survived a pvp encounter then it should be worth more then just a skin. If I purposely make it harder on myself just for a cosmetic that I most likely wont end up using because it's random then I don't see any special reason to keep making it harder on myself. I feel if we got 1 or 2% perm boost to cash, bloodline, and hunter EXP for each prestige on top of getting a free random skin then it would be worth it. I'm partway on my third prestige and I honestly feel like stopping, I've only ever gotten skins for things I've never use or want to use. I can't even recall them because they are of no interest to me.

Another thing that sort of bugs me about the skins is that each gun and variant only seems to really have 1 or 2 skins each, why not let each skins be crossed for each variant and just add more to it? Some skins suck for the variant I wanna use but look cool for the variant I don't wanna use over the one I like so it makes the skins even less appealing and thus prestiging even less rewarding. Seriously tho the game has a in game cash shop for cosmetics on top of a buy to play model and has been out for 4 years, why isn't there more variety or cross skin for each gun Why not just hire like 2-3 artists to make gun skins along side your development team? You could easily make more money this way.

All in all the prestige system is very unrewarding for purposely harming yourself especially in a game were dying is as painful as it is. I do play tarkov from time to time with over 700 hours so I'm no stranger to extraction shooters and perm death but It's not even about the "Gear fear" It's just about dying especially when you feel you've been cheated because of the server tick rate, I've been killed by incendiary ammo that sounded like it pened 2 walls with the game saying no wall bang or being shot while I've already ran behind cover. I just feel that the prestige system can be better without it being game breaking especially with how painful losing is in this game from time to time.

I've only prestiged once, i never plan to again because it's not really worth it.
