So the WCS nerf is an obvious change for alliance fighters, and I'd guess that all of them view it as positive...they've been heartily sick of hit & run tactics, and are glad to see the back of it. Though I don't understand why in a large fleet engagement, you couldn't get enough points of scrambling on a ship to hold it...more ships, more scramblers, surely? Failing that, there was nothing stopping you fitting WCS too. Like I said, this may just be the demented ramblings of a carebear.
Some Alliances do not allow their fighting force to fit WCS because it could be used as some "Flaming-Ammo".
In addition it is rather pointless if you got stabs or not because in most cases of .0 you will have to face multiple enemys. Even a +6 stabbed Occator might run into problems.
Then there is of course the Bubble - If you are unlucky enough to run into one only MWD will help you anyway.
So basically no big change for Alliance Fighters

Gatecampers...can't see why you'd support this. It's going to break your sniping ships, BUT at the same time, haulers will continue to fit multi-stabs.
The "Warp to 0km" thingy made Gatecamping obsolete.
Nobody with brain will warp an Hauler to another range anymore.
And if you ever Gatecamped you would know that 95% of the people with instas get away.
A welcome change however is the fact that ppl wont be able to fit a rack of WCS on their Sniperguns.

Mission runner hunters...you THINK this will work in your favour, but those mission runners who operate on the borders of empire space will simply STOP COMING.
And thats why Hi-Sec-Money-Making needs to be nerfed:
It became too easy to make serious money in Hi-Sec. Why should people bother to go into an Plex in lowsec when they can run an lvl4 mission in Hi sec.
Why should people rat in low sec for 10 mil/hour when they can mine Kernite in Genesis for 5 mil/h.
I am not saying Carebears should go to low sec and get killed but why can't they organize themselfes? Where are the mining ops? Where is the corpwide plexrun?
Where is there escort for the Hauler?
Simply: Where is the TEAMWORK?
Here some examples from my pirating experience:
E.g: 2 haulers transported a Small POS thru low sec and got raped by my corpmates Tempest.
Now the question: Why do they carry a 100 mil Pos in an IT5 and why is there no escort at all? - Would have been so easy to avoid that loss if the hauler was an Transport or an escort with an sensor dampener would have been with them.
Another Example: Mining OP in low sec: 1 Carrier 2 Barges 1 Megathron 1 Ferox
We killed the Megathron and the Carrier - The Chimera was actually mining with them.
So what could have been done better?
1st) The system they were in was an dead end system - Why didnt they use the Ferox as an scout in order to watch an 8 ship gang coming in?
2nd) Why did the carrier hang out in an belt? and MINE? - Carriers are supposed to be support guys!
3rd) Why did they held that Mining-Op for over 3 hours? if you are sitting ducks you will attract a lot of attention.
urgh server coming up - might write more later!
