OML feels that the added speed of games attracts casual players.
They are aware that... ~80-90% of the betas who commented on the change are against it. But yet it seems they're very serious about implementing it.

It's a completely different game now, though. You need not stockpile wits anymore to perform devastating attack waves.

That's a really lousy reason to change a nearly perfect game. Casual players avoid multiplayer strategy games altogether. They just don't like playing against others, unless its a words with friends type game, and that's only because of their familiarity with the game. A better draw would be a single player mode, but I still don't think that's enough. Start with a better icon and mess with the gameplay later. Just my opinion.

You don't get 1 wit for each kill, do you? I understood that your wit for the kill was refunded. That would be pretty bad if you received multiple wits from a bombshell attack. You could theoretically get 6 wits from one shot.

Sadly yes you do. It's a change that's all manner of broken, but I don't think OML sees it because they're trying to figure out a way to widen the game's appeal.

As you say, this won't do it - after your quick attack - then what? You still have to wait for the opponent to take their turn. That's not going to win over non-async fans. It may only alienate their loyal fan base.

A speed or realtime mode is a much better option to explore to try to win over those looking for predictable instant play.
