yeah Mephisto, that's what I'm trying to explain, lets say, without questing, you have 98 skills to spend at lvl 99, after you reset your level to lvl 98, you'll be able to get +1 skill and +5 stats, and then again, and again, and again... and to balance how it's done, its all about setting penalties to exp on each reset, with a char variable, not boolean as in d2pk potion checkers, but an overall exp 0 < multiplier < 1
edit: and about a paragon ladder, we could use the standart and hc standart ladders to do so, but that would mess up with pvpgn, which is probably not in the field of editable things, yet we could still use a site to follow that ladder, if the dev team can make gold answer to an external database, i bet they can access the reset counter too
