Poggle Omicron Stealth Nerf

Other wise are we to adopt a strategy of waiting 3 months to apply an omicron to be "safe" from a stealth nerf down the road?

I'm not saying we should need to do that but when it comes to TW and GAC omicrons, I always wait - no matter how good it looks. Once is an accident twice is a coincidence three times is a pattern. It's an unfortunate pattern and one that should be corrected, but it's how things have been going for a while now. CG has this great vehicle to generate buzz and create a perception of 'need' with these omicrons and they've effectively made people afraid to engage for fear of not ultimately getting what the thought they would and have generally been content to let it be a 'buyer beware' scenario for these abilities.

It's so easy to fix too. If you change it - even if it was a bug fix to correct unintended behavior - just refund it. It costs nothing to do, and people would never again hesitate to apply another omicron.

For me though - I hold back specifically because I'd rather not deal with the fiasco of having the ability devalued AFTER spending resources on it. Also it gives the early adopters and whales a chance to evaluate it and report back before I roll the dice on it.
