I'm undecided on this issue.

At 62 Diplomacy, if I tackle 50's with a strategy that works, I can get Faction and Prestige up out of the ashes from all my initial losses. True, the Diplomacy Skill increases slow down a lot, but it depends on what you're trying to improve. It takes me lots longer to seek out the fewer number of 75's in town, so I get fewer parleys accomplished in a given time frame. If I can do, say, 20 parleys in an hour with level 50 opponents versus 12 parleys an hour with level 75 opponents, what have I lost?

Sure wish I could find a broker to unload all those Hearsays and Rumors for something useful. Pffft.
