You can describe your understanding of the correct balance on the WT forum in the thread dedicated to this topic.
In general, your statements are similar to another set of tales (censored - about players), which you haven't played (or played very little) but are already loudly proclaiming how it should be.
In my opinion, 4000+500 is a great time for WT.
Stinger has been playing WT non-stop for 4 days now, and I consider this the best indicator of the version's success!
