I agree with stavros, pirates will do better out of this than most potential victims.
Although some good tactics will come into play.

Actually I see this as a pirate helper as well.
Basically if you don't have BMs to the gate or it's not a good warp in spot you're screwed.
I guess I ought to start making the 20 billion BMs that will be required for safe passage now, ugh.
Just wait there will be a bug where shooting at NPCs will also set this timer. You'll jump to a BM near a gate and try to jump and be stranded next to 3 BS's built for war.
As for activating modules in warp this is going to slow the game down even more. Having to restart 4 ABs on an indy every warp made. Restarting Optical trackers, sensor boosters after every warp. Blah.
Just think about how retarded it will be to make long journeys using MWD. A 25 jump trip will go from about 30-40min to at least 60.
Screw that. A bad solution is one that makes 95% of the game worse while making 5% (and only for pirates) better.
So player missions will also take longer now as well.
God help you if you get a little laggy coming out of warp and modules don't respond instantly (which never happens btw). Good luck to all those who suffer from rubberbanding as well.
But this is what everyone has been asking for, nay, demanding.
as for the no MWD out of warp, That's how it was when I first started playing, and I was fine with it. People have just been spoilt :)

Are we really sure that the non-agressor will be prevented from warping too?
Not wanting to sound TOO much like a carebear, this sounds terribly balanced in favour of blockade-style pirating - anyone warping into a blockade will be penalised for being passive....
I don't really think the "unable to MWD out of warp" will be an issue - just activate it ASAP and you're still going hella fast.
still not fast enough to avoid a ganking 
I'm not sure passive people will be blocked, and we also don't know how long they will be blocked for, a time has not yet been mentioned...
intriugiyiiing, I dare say...

guys, you're getting ahead of yourselves.
all we had was the quote at the top of the page to go on.
Now you're calling CCP names over stuff we have merely speculated...

skills, how about all the positive sec people not being able to dock anywhere outside the empire at the same time?
probably not too popular an idea.
It's been debated before, and I think the consensus was that they'd just use alts anyway.
