With your charismatic approach, I'm sure they will listen. :-)

7 is the only one that makes sense. We should be able to tame up to level 125 pets at the Master box.

No I could care less about CH trees, i'm master now 
Raise our Max CH lvl of pets at master. Be nice to have 2-3 Fully grown kimos at your arsenal.
Then again, I don't know what would be "in balance" since none of us know what balance will be come the revamp.

Actually, I think they FINALLY got the levels right for calling with pub 5.
The problem is they undermined that change by allowing BEs to create critters more powerful than natural ones, AND they had lower levels. This is because of the fundamental flaw in the consider and challenge level systems: it only takes attack into account, not the ability to absorb damage. As creature pets are in the game to serve as meat shields, or mobile armor, or tanks, or whatever else you want to call them, their true value in combat has do do with the ability to take damage, not in how much damage they can deal.
So with bugged pets that CSRs won't do anything about, non-CHs run around with BE pets that are more powerful than they ever could have at their command prior to pub 5 and the reduction of the non-CH call level to CL 10, the "balancing" of the rearrangement of the skill tree came across as a deliberate slap in the face
of CHs.
Making it difficult to dabble in CH was a good thing, IMHO, even though it personally slammed me when I gave up MCH for hologrinding. Now I'm gimped, the highest of my friends I can call is my lowland salt mynock, and my gurreck, my rancor, my gaping spider hunter, and other beloved pets languish on the datapad for now. However, making it so that you need more than just 3/2/0/0 to call a graul mauler is a good thing, even though they nerfed the dears mercilessly at the same time they did this.
Many forget that pub 5 was three nerfs in one, and one of them, the rearanging of the calling levels, was needed to deal with the graul mauler problem, just as the first great nerf a year ago dealt with the three rancor problem. The other two nerfs, the XP nerf (no more double XP for two critters out at management III) and the great critter nerf were far more destructive. The critter nerf was supposedly phase I of the mythical "combat revamp/rebalance" that the dev team is hemming and hawing and hedging on to this day.

Going to have to call bull**edit** on that one because I've learned to never trust anyone who can't spell.
Also your idea, to behonest, completly sucks. No one will have any reasons to take other boxes then, CH will be dabbler city.
