The use of wcs during combat is a widespread phenomenon in the pvp world of eve.
But does this, makes the game more fun to play? In my opinion totaly the opposite.
For example I attack a ship, ship warps away due to the fact of having wcs fitted.
The ship docks up or gets to a safe spot. Quite frequently the smack talk starts with something like: "Lightstorm are you a noob couldn't you get me.... ha ha ha".
I don't care about the smack talk, something which can't be avoided by ccp, but fitting wcs can be changed by ccp. People have been and still are stacking wcs before they enter the combat arena, because ccp found it not necessary to change it.
Another example: a week ago we were with 3 ships in a 0.4 system waiting for 2 pirates , we found out that also another group was searching for those pirates. Both groups were potential targets for us. It came to a fight at a planet between those two groups, and we decided to warp in and join the fight as a third party. I called the megathron primary target and saw that group A had the upper hand and was about to kill group B (the pirates), which they succeeded in. We thought we had the Megathron nailed, the rest of group A warped of, the ship had 10% armor left and had 3 warpscramblers on him, but to our surprise he managed to warp away. WCS FTW.......... it's kinda making me sick. So group A can kill group B, only when group A gets into trouble they can safely warp away. My question is: does the eve community and ccp finds it fair that group B which have fought bravely an outnumbered and outgunned fight gets killed and group A can warp out anytime because they have stacked wcs.
It's my opinion that stacking wcs kills the fun in having small or medium fleet battles. So in the pvp arena in eve it comes down to, ganking people in "larger" numbers so he has enough scramblers on him, countering the wcs, or large fleet battles, no time to warp away.
A suggestion for the wcs problem: when you have fitted wcs you are setup for travelling you cannot fit/ activate highslot items. When you have fitted guns, etc you are able to defend yourself. If you don't want harm comes your way, warpout before you get warpscrambled.
Would like to close with the wise words of DrunkenOne: Waiting for a better tomorrow.
