TC I think its a great idea although it needs some adjustments and tweaks to fit into the party system but I love it because like you said, the leves don't have to be centered around killing a lot of mobs, they can be more story driven with some battle in between because at the end you'll earn your pool's full potential. I like it, I suggest you copy this topic into the General Forums so it gets a little more publicity, because if you don't I will (and I will take credit for it! :P kidding, but do it!)
