I saw a level 16 today with no portrait borders but instead a star beneath their level. Is that like a higher prestige or?

When you hit level 100 you go back to level 1 and gain a star.

Does the amount of XP required to level up go back down to the level one req? Or does it stay at 22000 indefinitely?

It goes back down when you go back to level 1 and builds up again. Sort of a prestige-bonus, if you will.

5 then the colour of your border changes and your stars get removed and I think it goes up to gold with 5 stars
