I've actually heard that statement before about people feeling like Renard is getting 'soft' or shouldn't the wessen recognize him as being from one of the 'royal families'. First, I don't think he's getting 'soft' at all, he was ambushed by Kimura who was in full 'woge', now that's pretty hard to defend against, unless, you're super-powered like Nick and the other Grimms/Wessen. Even then I have a feeling they might get knocked out too, just from the force of the surprise attack. Secondly, in terms of Wessen recognizing him, it seems he only reveals himself to only certain people and that the recognition of power from the old days (since it seems he's 'long lived') is not the same anymore.
