I agree totally with all of the above. It will put an end to fight
much too much battles, just to keep up with others.
And second, it will be more difficult to change a bad character
generation. So there will be more retirements :-)
Last, the newcomers and the veterans are more closely together, as
it will take some time to improve (on both equipment and char. stats).
