Well, I do find pleasure in actually fighting the opponents myself... for me the whole point of earning nps is to build a strong battle pet and fight in wars like these. If I automate even the war-fighting part, then what's the point of even playing Neopets?
That being said, I appreciate that some people derive enjoyment from other aspects of Neo. I'm just saying that TNT really dumbed down this war by too much (another example - the challengers' HP did not increase with each win, thereby rewarding quantity of battles over quality yet again).
They probably did the best they could, judging from the content of stuff. Frankly given that this is a free-to-play browser game i'm more than satisfied
