For those who have tasted the fresh, the stale will seem nauseating, which is quite logical, but unfortunately, WT changes the gameplay too much. And coming to an agreement with a hardcore WT player to play not even under SoD, but at least to remove creature experience and so on, is almost impossible. :-)
Personally, I have absolutely no hang-ups about turn duration. If a person wants to achieve something in the game, let them think about every 100 MP they've spent. And if they want to ramble on, go play GR on one minute per turn with the noobs - there are plenty of them there.
