Sounds about right, since the agent changes all my storylines but one has been materials for war.

You're complaining about materials for war preparation? The learn implant it pays is worth much more than the rewards of typical combat storylines. And all you have to do is buy ores at station and turn it in.

Protip : your storyline agent is not your normal agent . They surely have different Divisions .

If it is the same agent over and over it is time to move, I do believe you get the nearest storyline agent when it goes off.

That does suck. Bad luck doesn't even seem correct with that many.

People complained about having to do the occasional courier mission so CCP made it where you can choose only combat missions. Some people will never be happy. They could make it where you just have to click a button to finish the mission and some would complain it's just too hard to press...

They did it to spred the population out and simplify for the dumb masses. No idea what you going on about or who you assume is complaining. Perhaps reading before speaking is in order

Yes I know that was part of the reason. Mostly it was because people were complaining about courier missions. I can say with Sisters of Eve agents it didn't spread anything out. Now there is only one highsec level 4 agent for combat missions. As SOE is popular to repair Gallente standings this system is a griefers dream. Although some might be I don't think the majority of eve players are "dumb".

Find storyline agent of corp/faction whose standing you want to raise.

Find appropriate mission agent close by.

Make sure there are no other storyline agents closer to your mission agent.

I can understand why you do not like it - however given that it is working as intended it is not a bug.

Running combat missions is arguably one of the slowest ways to raise faction standings. There are much much faster ways of doing this (tags, COSMOS missions, even courier missions depending on your skills can be faster).

Combat missions != combat storylines, they never have and I'd be surprised if they ever will.

The real problem here is the materials for war preparation mission which gives a very poor standings increase, some of the actual couriers you get are not so bad. It is that one specific mission which needs addressing (It is ridiculously easy for a storyline anyhow - if it was at least a real mining mission it would make some sense and would justify adding a more reasonable standing increase but I can hear the howls of complaint already)

As your standing get's closer to +10.00 the amount of increase get's smaller while the standing percentage amount for mission reward stays the same.

If you haven't already, train level 5 in Connections, Negotiation and Social. Those skills will help.

Instead of only doing 16 regular missions to get a storyline mission, completing Event Agent missions will also give Faction standing increase.

Sounds like you've already completed most of the Event Agent missions. Might have a few more still available.

Just remember that getting +10.00 Faction standing takes a long long time.

Anyway, good luck to you.
