As a new player, I found the concept of the Mana Pond fun and intriguing! At first.
I soon found it to instead be frustrating, disheartening, and demotivating.
I require 23 Mana Pond catches to prestige just once, but after 5 days of playing, am still at 3/23.
I thought it may just be a skill issue, but I noticed that whether there were 5 or 30 players at the pond, it seemed to always be the same 2 players, who had jump-boosted boots, winning everything.
I think it would be much better balanced if each player were individually limited to how many items they could pull from each Mana Pool event, giving a chance for players without expensive enchants to get things.
