You can sit at a mission hub for fed navy and pay people to fleet you and share mission reward to repair your standings.

Edit: Also if your getting shot by the gal navy you may be able to increase your standings using social skills to the point you don't get shot anymore. assuming you never trained social skills yet. And your not to low in the - to get above -5.

Edit 2: I am true standings around -5.5 with both Caldari and Amarr but I don't get shot at because my social skills bring it up to around -3.5 or so. At lvl4.

They have both one thing in common amongst many others: pixels, it's all about pixels.




PLUS

Neither are Candy Crush Saga


Which has more players than both EVE and WOW combined! I demand we make EVE more like Candy Crush! If we're really serious about the game, CCP has to acknowledge that their business model is wrong in comparison to Candy Crush!

...

Psst, guess who I was imitating? :P


Go to the F&I section and demand a candy crush mini-game for all mining activities.

Couldn't you just buy the tags you needed?

Also-- go back to WoW.

Eve does not have pandas.

And if it did get pandas, we would get a chance to shoot them.

That's your difference.

I find it strange that all of this is based around faction standing whine. Last I checked, faction ships don't scram. Warp away. There are pirates who roll around highsec with very low faction standings as well as terrible sec status.

What's the problem again?

Since people have already given answers on how to fix faction standings, I'll leave this explanation of the difference between WoW and EVE.

The question I'd really like answered is this one:

If you dislike Eve as much as you appear to on the forums, why are you still playing it? I mean that seriously. Why are you subjecting yourself to a voluntary experience that you dislike that much? Do you also routinely volunteer for skin abrasions, public flogging, and being water boarded?



Been asking that question for years, and never once got answer let alone a rational one. I doubt you'll get answer as well.


I know. I never get an answer either. Usually just misdirection, an abrupt change of subject, or an ad hominem.

But I keep trying. Hope is a virtue, even when it chances to be misplaced.


It happened again.

Joke's on EVE, I already right-clicked on the cookie in my cargohold and used it.

Who is this Dagan you speak of? Where can I find him?

Go to the Arnon solar system, dock in the Sisters Of Eve station and get the first part of the arc from the agent Sister Alitura, the whole arc is somewhere between lvl 1 and lvl 2 mission difficulty, it's 50 missions in total but they're all quick and easy apart from Dagan, you should be able to do the whole thing in a destroyer or cruiser if your skills are up to scratch.

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/The_Blood-Stained_Stars

You're hardly a newbie going by your character age, we shouldn't have to tell you these things.


Kudos to you for helping that person's lost soul. BTW, I'd no idea about this arc to fix standing. So I can understand. Not that my standing was ever messed up to the point I needed to fix it. A mentor told me long ago..."Do not run faction missions". It's a mantra I live by to this day. Thank God I live in w-space.

But many of you should understand that there are plenty of things about this game that people who've played for years don't know. Noone can know it all.

I will definitely file this in a note for those I run across that don't want to grind roid belts to increase standing.

The SOE arc is normally suggested by an agent at the end of the tutorials, which is why I assumed (DOH!) that people knew about it.


Oh, there's that word again....tut.....tutor.......tutori.......yeah, never heard of 'em!

Don't ban me, bro!

I don't know if this was mentioned, but some people like the grind.

The tag drop might be low for an individual, but as you can see they are dropping.

You didn't know that when I was on the WoW forums, I was posting about the features like in EvE.

Hint: no WoW player will claim I'm a fanboi, just as no EvE player or EQII or RIFT or Battlefield player for their franchises. I'm not brand loyal, I'm a gamer first.

It's the features that count, not the game title.

I don't consider EVE being the same as WoW, but than I left WoW just before the Panda invasion.

Can't you just buy the tags from the market?


Sure...I can waste millions on buying tags - that is not the issue. The issue is I should have a reasonable alternative...not a sadistic, twisted, one....a reasonable one. That is not the case. You try and go collect the required tags needed for the Data Center missions and tell me it is reasonable.


They only drop in missions against other factions. EVE is about consequencesm you are suffering the consequences for your actions.

As a CCP carebear fanboi I do believe eve came out first before wow, and had missions. So if anything blizzard copied CCP.

WoW is a web version of the Warcraft series (I vanilla / II TBC / III WotLK) that came before even Ultima came online (the first MMO). When folks say it's old, it's old.

Only older MMO with pre-1996 internet presence would be DDO, with it's ties with D&D (now that's older than dirt, where the RPG all began).

Only upto a year ago.

If you didn't cuss out a dev, you could seriously troll the forums like trade chat (which WAS worse than anything seen on the forums as it's moderated...when they troll about pedophilia, yeah, WoW's chat can be quite b-a-d).

And don't forget anything related to Moon Guard (mildly put the deviant sex server)...

And EVE is effectively a web version of Elite, which came out in 1984...

Shocked

For those who don't understand why this is a troll, the off-line Warcraft series was Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Unlike DDO, which tried to simulate the mechanics of paper and pencil D&D, I really don't think you can state that WoW took anything from a series of RTS games except the IP. The games Mr. Troll listed as "came before even Ultima came online" are the original WoW that came out in 2004, and expansions that came out in 2007 and 2008. And really, UO was the first MMORPG? Try Meridian 59.

For the gameplay of WoW itself, it was influenced heavily by Everquest. So much so that Blizzard was even hiring leaders of major EQ guilds in an effort to lure EQ players to WoW. What WoW did was polish up the existing MMORPG features and present something that players liked without all the bad stuff in EQ that mad players rage-quit and unsubscribe.

But since he got Malcanis, I give this troll 10/10.
