Therefore, talking about SWITCHING to Equilibrated rules, as I mentioned above, is premature or simply inappropriate.

Zubr, I don't recognize you, honestly!
The question isn't about "Let's all sit down and switch to Equilibrated rules right now." The question is about INSTILLING an INTEREST in players for something BETTER and of HIGHER QUALITY! About explaining the differences... About raising the level of gaming culture, in the end! That's what this topic is for, as I understand it... Because, as practice shows, many players refuse to do this on their own. Laziness??? I don't know... rather, it's conservatism: "I'm happy with the Whirlwinds, and that's fine!"
As for the question of prematurity... No comment. ;)
