As a live player, and with many games under my belt, I have never needed to use any extra add time than what is available by the time it's needed, there has always been enough for me. So my opinion there is, that perhaps 3 minutes isn't suitable for some players and that for some settings (capped games?) maybe the turn length is better suited to 5 to 7 minutes or just long term. Long term games can be organized to play live, with friends just the same, then you have all the time in the world. Also, if there is a game attendant available, players left in a game can request to change the turn length. Plenty of options in my opinion.
Now from a moderating point of view. I've just seen so many cases coming from new players and even regular players who are sore losers, just add time to be annoying, usually it's a 2p setting though. New players usually don't realize there is an add time option until they run out of time then wish there was, or they forget to end turn. But by that time they have learned the interface, gotten faster for live play, become regular players, they have then developed, so I think it's all fine the way it is. Overall, my opinion is. It's fine how it is.
