Big mistake to do it 30 seconds, every server i play is changing it to 3 min. So many people i see who don't like it on 30 sec. even in server where everyone have same gear.
Your poll is very biased and encouraging people to vote how you think by elaborating on the answers in a biased way.
However:
1) The main fact here is sadly not about how things work in game, it's about advertising, money and law. The re-use times were not listed on the official site, just what the items in game gave, which was 30 seconds. People paid hard cash for an item on the basis it had a 30 second re-use. Now either all of those need refunding or the product should act as advertised.
2) Tanzanite isn't really all that big, it might help in an even levelled fight but not at all in 90% of matches since 90% are completely unbalanced due to scripts and gear.
Tanzanite is a buff, with a cast time and cast + effect delay, it won't save anyone in a crux moment and it takes up a jewel slot which means losing an amethyst, diamond, obsidian or so on.
The buff only actually saves people for about 1-2 hits.....
3) 3 Minutes re-use is far too long for something with such a weak effect, though 30s for level 4 and 5 is probably too strong.
1. Not true as there were 2 versions of Tanzanite from the start due to the fail bug, 1 with 30 sec re use and 1 with 3min re use - facts, not propaganda or wishfull thinking.
2. PVP/Oly/CoC these days is won by minor margins and the Oly enforcers/PvP'rs in my clan would still buy/use Tanzanite even if the re use is 3min just for those ~30sec extra survivability it gives which is actually huge when you think about it.
3. see point 2.
Now the damage is done and the fallout is going to be quite simple as those who dislike it will just move to one of those servers were it's 3min reuse time which means permanent revenue loss for NCWest but they should have realized that the moment they decided to go a different route then all the other L2 Regions.
Regardless of how it happen I'm old school in the sense that we should have sticked to what Korea got and not messed around with it.
People said topaz was OP, but tanzanite is 10x worse.
Thanks for ruining olympiad NCWest. :o
Dont think I personally will be affected much by it, just a few very stacked people who I'll have it harder with, but..
Tanks, iss and healers just got officially ***ed over, unless those classes are stacked beyond reason, any DD with lv. 3 tanza should have no trouble beating them with damage.
Tyrr vs tyrr, the one with tanza is going to win.
etc etc..
as a tank in oly, my damage can be pretty pitiful. lucky if I do 20,000 in 30 seconds.
the only good part is that its absorbed and the damage is still countable, but for that to matter I have to be able to survive to the end of the round. so if any class other than a healer, tank or iss has it then I'm skrewed.
I cant afford these new jewels or even the old ones, and my adena income is maybe 100m a week if I'm lucky.

Any damage done on iss barrier, or arcane barrier (feoh) is absorbed and does not count to the end, im pretty sure tanzanite work that way too.
SO no luck for you
