The new quest system is awesome.  No doubt about it.  I feel it is a very effective and rewarding way for people to learn stuff and stay loyal to GB.
 
The one thing I really don't under stand is the leveling system.  I have no idea what it does.  It would be awesome if it did one of the folowing:
 
Gave discounts on the store
 
Gave Moderator-ship if you hit a high enough level
 
Or anything else you can think of.
