WSG since 2.4

So....the 2.4 patch contained a few fixes that were supposed to make WSG move more quickly, or at least be more enjoyable. These included:

• Able to see the EFC on minimap for 45 seconds after the flag is captured
• Both FCs take 50% additional damage if they hold the flag for ten minutes; this goes up to 100% if they hold the flag for fifteen minutes.

My question is: have these changes made WSG substantially faster and more enjoyable for you? (I'm especially interested in the thoughts of those who dared to play WSG at level 70.)

Thanks!
