Summoning, along with Construction, are the two skills I refuse to train using the normal means. Because there's no free supply of spirit shards in the game, from the very beginning I've relied on lamps, stars, dungeoneering and the Clan Citadel to train summoning.
So unless there were massive changes which provided additional "free" methods for people below 99 summoning to train summoning included in the proposed new training methods part of this update (and the methods aren't simply for getting from 99-120) then I'm rather nonplussed on the whole thing because I've many, many more lamps to use before it would even begin to become relevant to me.
But if the new training methods include lower-level variants, that would drastically speed-up my progress to 99, and it's unlikely I'd be too put-off by the new need to continue leveling the skill to 120, so I'd be very much for the update; it would literally transform the skill from something I literally never use, to something I might end up using a lot, which is surely a good thing.
