There will be a limit so that you cannot donate your last 25 prestige to prevent the temptation of account farming that Rill described. 

Thanks for your feedback and keep it coming!

Then what is to stop them from just waiting one day, get their 1 free prestige and then donating 25 prestige. etc.

To clarify, you can not donate the last 25 prestige in your account. So if someone did this, they could donate 1 prestige only.

I was thinking player to player prestige gifting (once researched) would be the method of transferring prestige. Of course then you can threaten to siege someone unless they give you prestige :)

The alliance prestige pool system suggested (everything devs post is only a suggestion until it goes live... cough...tax-doesn't-effect-food...cough) has different uses. 

- This system will give more meaning and purpose to alliances. 
- Prestige Pool use/availability to alliance rank will encourage strong alliance hierarchy, and give new players something to thrive for. 
- This is a gateway to alliance achievement's that grant additional prestige to the prestige pool. (example: 100% of members complete a quest in 1 day - reward 1 prestige) 
- One of the benefits of befriending a faction could be alliance prestige
- Prevents non-allies from being coerced into giving prestige away. Only alliance mates can share prestige. 

This will really encourage less alliance fracturing/multiplying, and empower all the alliances that are currently out there. 

Only downside will be what Rill suggested.

I appreciate all of the different ways to address game play, but am firmly in the camp to devote the resources to cleaning up what was already released or intended to be released.

This alliance pool needs mechanisms to prevent abuse, e.g. you could separate prestige to paid/non-paid and only allow the paid to be donated ... if that is too hard/harsh then enforce the individual's prestige to always be at least 25 when donating to stop new player pres farming.

And I completely agree with Starry, lets close a few loopholes and exploits before opening some new ones

I have to agree that this may be useful but it's not what will keep people playing. Where's water sov, trade V2, factions.......? Seems a lot of time is being spent fixing what isn't broken and not on delivering the content that's promised but is always coming soon....

Sitters should be unable to use this prestige also, to prevent this feature from being exploited by inactive's account sitters.
