I thought it would be a fun skill to train and not be like runecrafting which I dont enjoy... It is a combatrelated skill so why not at least let us earn some summoning-xp while they fight with us?? Let making pouches be mainly for those who wants to earn money on the skill, and not the only way to level. I dont even think those familiars are very useful at all, not considered what they cost in work, time and gp. :(
