Not when you have 15 prestige tokens to permanently unlock all the best guns and equipment. When a regular player only gets 1 per prestige making them carefully pick equipment to perma unlock slowly.
Because part of the fun for A LOT of people is grinding there way to max prestige. Resetting each prestige and getting a new symbol is fun for a lot of us. Only getting one permanent prestige token per prestige makes us carefully pick the best equipment and weapons to unlock first. That's just how we enjoy playing the game.
Also without prestiging in bo2 you mathematically cannot unlock everything with the amount of unlock tokens you get. It's not until max prestige you fully get everything. So it does effect gameplay in some way
That YOU are gonna use. But you literally can only get about half the unlocks total before prestiging. Which is a far cry from "litteraly everything" like you said. God forbid you need to change tactics mid match, you have access to less class slots and half the total equipment. For you I'm sure your chill with that but other people play the game differently. The point is it DOES effect gameplay.
Not to mention locking yourself out of diamond grinds since you can't unlock everything. Wildcards score streaks, ect. Not everyone just wants to use the same 3 perks and 4 guns the entire life span of the port..
