I am all for making wormhole space more risky but a ~unavoidable delay~ is unreasonable. There's got to be some way to mitigate it, even if it's just having a dedicated person on probes. Which people should have either way.
Doing this change will result in one of two outcomes: Even more people moving out of wormholes, or corps blobbing together to make wormhole coalitions. Is that what you want? Nullsec politics without stargates?
I went to live in a wormhole to get away from coalitions. I'll have nowhere to go but highsec if they end up in wspace.
Don't do to wspace what you did to lowsec incursions. |

In the ten years I have been playing this game that has not been CCP's MO in around eight. |

And what do you mean by wormhole coalitions? How does this change even remotely promote coalitions? How would a coalition member not already in the same wormhole system respond to aid someone under attack in that system? 
You have not been paying much attention, then. C6s are a ghost town now. Very few people live in them anymore when previously they were sort of regarded as the hard mode of wspace.
By wormhole coalitions I mean imagine a scenario where you're going to see more previously unalinged corps joining alliances, and alliances start to absorb smaller alliances. Staging wormholes will develop, moonlocked with deathstars, and day tripping will become the norm for constant income while others use alts with throwaway expo holes that they run until they get ganked or run the sites dry and extract the capitals to kspace for the next expo, leaving the towers behind.
It will become like nullsec without stargates. These huge wspace entities will rage roll with impunity until they come upon some unlucky small corp that doesn't want to play with the big boys and get ganked, turned into renters, or evicted, because that's simply the way of things.
This sort of thing has been happening to a small extent as wormholes have been ~iterated~ on over the years, but a change like this could accelerate it out of control to the point where it may never be able to be undone. See: lowsec incursion culture, which rose organically |
