I don't really understand this change. WH are easy to scan down already, even before i had skills i could scan out a WH chain in under 15mins. If that is what is making WH dead then well just make WHs like anomalies and get rid of the need to scan all together. Yea i don't like that idea either.

I admit it is quiet in WH space right now, but that is not why. (can anyone say eviction? )

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

Eviction has nothing to do with it.

CCP made WH's dead when they nerfed (to the extreme degree) the connections in C5/C6 w-space to K-space.

It's just endless [empty] chains of C5>C5 now.

I live in a C5 and i see lots of *not* empty c5s and c6s. Also we get a lot of connections. Typically 2-3 c4 or higher and ~ 2 kspace per day + our static.

We once had 9WHs connected to us. I didn't know you could get that many.

Last week when i roamed with just 3 tengus, everyone just ran away. Even in nullsec :(

Don't care for this change. Its always gonna be the same people who probe anyway. We all saw the nerf for null-c5 - if probing wh's was even easier would that mean further nerfs to some other wormholes down the line?...

Scanning is way to easy.
We have a new player in our corp and he got scanning like the rest of us in a week(barrings char-skills).
The only thing he still struggles with is the way we name the systems .
Also making scanning to easy takes away the mystery of wh-space.
Aren't you all saying that there is no more mystery left in wh-space?
Making it easier to scan will destroy a lot of mystery in w-space.
Does scanning need to be more fun?
Maybe that is the question we should ask ourselfs, not making it easier but more fun, more stuff to find, scanning minigame(never mind that last sounds terrible), ... .
Because of the ore site being put into anomalies and the lack of difference between data/relic, there are only 3 things to scan for, wormholes, gas, data/relic . Maybe we need more things to find?

No local in null sec would fix everything!

Last month i scanned way more than 300 Wormholes, not sigs. People get rid while the jspace is getting emptier.
Please, can we get an DEV to response on that idea ?

With this change best tackler would be a sabre with core probe launcher. Do you believe that someone will risk farming in static?
Some time ago all ppl. though it would be a grate to catch a dread on chain collapsing. And what happened after change? Most carebears collapse wh with stabbed battleships.
And seriously do you realy want to switch holes to "one scan" pseudo gates? Why dont you meet in kspace for a fight?
