Naive :)
HD mod was never and will never be a competitor to WT; this should have been understood long ago.
They have completely different development paths, but HD is a mod for comfortable gameplay, while WT is already a completely different game. So, hoping that WT will become unnecessary is a bit absurd.
Regarding the quick battle, I'll give it a lot of pluses! For Soda, this is a great way to save time on the game, and as others have correctly pointed out, all battles will be played manually in the first week anyway, so quick battles won't be helpful here, and therefore won't affect the change in a player's skill.
