This is a tournament topic, and this kind of debate is considered off-topic here. Therefore, I hope the moderators of this section will move this debate to another topic.
off-topic:
IMHO: TE is a very good thing for online play; few people would argue with that, as the bugs have been fixed, and the interface has been improved.
But there is a catch! Many people, including myself, don't like the fact that they started changing the balance, because many of the things they've tweaked are, to put it mildly, questionable. For example: the Slow spell has become a 2nd-level spell, which means it can no longer be cast on cursed ground... a questionable change.

Sincerely.
