CCP is changing it because EW works, and has worked for almost a year now.
If it didn't and was having issues it would take 2+ years to resolve cuz they are currently working with the nerf bat to hit objects that work or are effective in the game.
EW was complained about this time last year because people were just learning about EW Scorps and people were like "WTF EXPLOIT PETITION PLS BAN" to the Devs... it has taken them a year to implement the changes they promised to the whiners then.
There ARE counters to EW out there, and it IS EXTREMELY frustrating to the pilot being jammed and killed because he can't target / fire back. However just because you chose to put 8 heat sink 2s in your low slot on your gankageddon and why should EW pilots be punished cuz you are losing those modules? Oh because you will quit if they don't...
/me points to the nearest airlock....
PLEASE LEAVE...
Anyways... I'm an ANTI-PIRATE and I have had to learn how to use EW just like every pirate had to learn how to use the EW modules. As was posted earlier, major fleet battles can't happen in eve effectively. The server lags, the node dies, and only if you live 4 blocks from the darn server, do you get to survive the insuing crash about to happen to the rest of the fleet. Small fleet battles are the only way to fight in eve. (10 vs 10 MAX)
EW is one of the tactics used to help counter the "WTFPWN megapulse weapons", and the "HELL I CAN SHOOT FROM 200km tempests."
All those pilots have to do to counter EW is put sensor booster twos to counter remote sensor dampeners, put backup arrays to counter multispecs or specialized jamming... warpcore stabilizers to counter Warp scrambling and MWDs to counter webbing (though i could stand that only one webber could be fitted to a ship)...
NOW... if all those things are thrown on you, guess what you get to DIE... because you are outnumbered 4 ships to 1 and you weren't flying with a fleet IE other people making your play style single player. Stick to empire if that's the case 0.4 and lower is not for you.
Guys these changes ARE stupid, but complaining about them will get you no where because these complaints came a year ago and they are finally being implemented... If you complain now, you might get a present for christmas next year or the following valentines day... maybe...
I'd say learn new tactics with these changes as I'm sure the next thing to be nerfed is going to be something like warping... it will be a chance roll whether you warp or just explode due to a warp core breach or something as ridiculous as these changes are...
