The idea is to replace your level up points for an item (you can choose when creating your character) to assign your level up points on.
Why?
First reason is I think it fits the game's fantasy world a bit better.
Second reason, by making the item tradeable, it can replace the level up points reset upgrade, such items is prolly cheaper than the upgrade, and therefore is more interesting/available option to people to use it. In the end it might bring HCS more fsp than the current upgrade.
It could also exist next to the upgrade. So one can reset his "special" item. This way the AH prices of the items can be "controlled".
Third reason, it opens up new setups for levels (since you have to build a set around ur "special" item, and encourages trading on the AH, either in other sets/items or in this suggested item. More AH trade is good for the game in my opinion.
Ofcourse a character can only wear/own 1 of these items.
Other options can be to make it craftable/hell forgable. Though the item can become to powerfull then.
Players could be given 1 or 2 enhancements aswell. (say +5 for an enhancement).
Like I said, not sure if this idea is great. But it is less dull than the current skill points and adds a bit more dimention to the game.
Flame away.
Edit: Ofcourse I meant level up points, not skill points. Such noob I am...
