I see a lot of gloating in this thread. Sad. Only time will tell if CCP will change the nerf (I agree it does NOT need to be undone).
50% penalty should be changed to 75% penalty, but only for every stab AFTER the first.

Vagabonds will still be fitting them with the current penalties.
So because of ONE ship, EVERYTHING else gets the shaft? That's the most arse-about-face way to balance something I've ever heard of.
I'd even agree to making the SECOND and subsequent WCS a 90% penalty...I just think this nerf hands pirates an "I win" button against non-PVP'ers who might one day want to check out low sec space...they won't fit a WCS because of the penalty, so they won't make it into low sec space at all because they'll get scrambled and locked down by the first pirate with a 1 point scrambler they see...which will be ALL of them...and they'll come back thinking that they won't do that again. That can't be good for the game as a whole, surely?

but once people realise they can tackle solo with their single point scrambler
Ohh, I think every pirate on the planet realised that the second this change hit Sisi...that's why they are defending it so vehemently. It's a carebear muggin "I win" button and they know it. Carebears will stop coming. In a few weeks/months I think gatecampers will be paying carebears to come to low sec just so they have something to do...

you can also do lvl 4 missions in empire space. Those missions give a worse reward or something.... I mean if you just want to do missions, why go into 0.0 sec?
Yes, rewards in low sec are higher...though I'd suggest finding a nice 0.5 that ISN'T near a 0.4...the difference between 0.5 and 0.4 in terms of reward is not much...certainly not enough to justify getting shot at. Oh, and before all the pirates whine, it's NOT that high sec rewards are too high...A couple of guys tracking down mission runners in low sec will earn 150 mill ransom between the two of them...75 mill each for no more than 10 minutes work*. Doing a mission (ignoring loot which just encourgaes MORE risk) will net you about 30-40 million for about ONE HOUR's work. Then on top of that every so often you have to give 150 million to the pirates who catch you.
It's not mission runner's life that's too easy, it's the pirates.
* under new scanning rules.
