The complaining has never been accurate on this piece however. General Grievous mentioned multiple reasons why. Poggle was meant to be a tier 1 gimmick that a few squads would use, to make use of some crappy pieces. And from what I see, the primary complaint are from people who didn't plan a way to deal with them in their melee squads.
So instead, I'd rather see a cheap CE that grants melee force users distraction.
We really shouldn't be going back 10 sets with an errata that is more than a very, very, simple fix (such as point cost) IMO. There are not that many options for dealing with poggle. That's why you gave us the 10pt Gormak Bomb Disposal Expert designed in V-Set 9 . It should be able to do to Poggle bombs what the 10pt Treadwell Droid did against Nom bombs. The Treadwell worked against Nom Bombs because Vong were Melee and the droid was immune to spit poison. But Gormak(s) cannot deal with 10 to 12 2pt drones in a Teir 1 Sep squad that also has access to shooting and strafing. Perhaps Gormak(s) could deal with 6 to 8 drones if not getting mowed down beforehand. The complaining is not being made by players who don't know how to deal with poggle. Poggle just allows a couple drones more than is good for the game especially when they are only worth 2pts. Putting distraction on melee force users is a great idea. I don't want to see poggle unplayable, should be playable bringing a couple less drones. However, if Poggle were to become virtually unplayable... I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Blasted good post mate +1

As a point of information, the Gormak was actually intended more to help against the Klat Assassin, not Poggle. It also wasn't intended as a complete fix, more of an introduction of a concept to help.
