I'd like to defend the Warlord's Throne (WT) here. As I understand it, one of the priorities of this version was to save real time during gameplay. And what Numone doesn't like is largely what saves hours of gameplay – experience gain, quick combat, a strong start for the Barbarian. But in reality, if you oversimplify the game to the extreme, sooner or later, people won't want to spend time on it.
By the way, it's interesting how a bank is considered a simplification of the game, but the witch's hut with the WT script is a positive addition.
