Some people here tend to react in a rather childish way, threatening to quit even before you know what the new plan (or the actual implementation) will be like.
I've been talking to a friend of mine who is a hard-core PVP-er and has experience with MOM's, and even he says the MOM's as first planned were way overpowered. And yes ofcourse most of the tester agreed on the changes initially proposed, because most of them probably were either MOM pilots or those who would benefit from it. Also the people on the forums in the threadnaughts are also only a minority of the players, not everyone is on the forums and a lot of people probably couldn't care less about MOM's as long as they are balanced.
So there are more players than just the MOM users and CCP also needs to take them into account, and while it would probably be fun for the minority of MOM users, it also has to stay fun for the rest of the players. So I for one am glad CCP does not just listen to a minority, but also takes Eve as a whole into account with all its aspects working together.
Also give Nozh a break, good chance Abathur was on the same team making the decision together for not going through with the changes. Probably a slight case of shooting the messenger.
I still have full confidence in CCP and also think the CSM is very usefull eventhough they don't have a final say in the matter, they did bring some changes that mattered (though they seem to be easily forgotten...).
Nozh not being solely responsible for this idiocy doesn't make me want him gone any less, it just means more heads need to roll. And Nozh with his "use target painters" suggestion as a workaround to the massive dread nerf disqualifies him to be part of ANYTHING to do with capital ships, since he clearly has no idea how they work. If he doesn't know how they work or how we fight them, how the hell can he proclaim ANYTHING they do balanced or unbalanced? If the rest of his "team" lack the same knowledge, how are they any better? Why should be be feel any better having them imply to us that Nozh isn't the only ignoramus on that team responsible for capital ship changes?
And I have quit, this is the last account that hasn't had it's time run out yet. The CSM is useless. It doesn't have any say. It exists only to give CCP the feedback they want to hear. It becomes more and more a "superfanboi" club who can see no wrong with the Devs or the direction of the game with each new CSM.
As far as shooting the messenger, we shoot him because they haven't given us any other target. They still haven't given any sort of a rational explanation for these 11th hour changes, thus leaving us no choice but to continue to shoot the messenger.
The "target painters" that are our credit cards will work.
