i'm bummed out by this change aswell. I can understand why some people like the change, i just don't. The following statement may seem contradictionary, but GW is a bigger waste of time now than it used to be. It's so gosh darn easy now that it warrants a sim button. I'm facing g10 characters in the most difficult node, where's the fun in that?
Before the change gw was sort of challenging and i could try different strategies, now i just press auto and wait. That is (imo) a real waste of time.
