Cutting down grinding I can understand. (It is far easier to get good gear at level 50 now than when the game launched for example)
But making maps "auto-explored" doesn't really speed up anything - except for those people who really want the exploration achivements but don't want to do any actual exploration.
It removes some of the fun in exploration while adding a tiny bit of convenience - a convenience that nobody asked for.
