The whole process thing is why I say the XP system is not the reward system in D&D, any more than the gold piece system is; it's also why I don't think I'm disagreeing with Vincent. I'm just pointing out that XPs and GPs are both incidentals gained during the actual process. The real reward in dungeoncrawl-style games is facing the challenges of the dungeon and knowing when to take a break, get back to town, and convert XPs and GPs into something more useable.
