Why does CCP need to do it when players out there already offer services to do it? If you want to fix your standings go seek them out and pay them your iskies.


Yeah because that argument worked to stop them from removing POS standing requirements despite in-game services providing precisely that as well.

im still surprised no one bitched about this change. when it was first announced i though we would all drown in tears.

As to the OP, I'm 100% in support of a "tags for faction standing" model identical to the tags for security sec model. Something that lets you repair your standing back to 0.0 with each faction for ISK/tags so you can fix whatever mess you might have made of your standings owing to CCP's somewhat schizophrenic take on faction standings over the years. But to increase it above 0.0 (where you actually get some benefits in market trading, etc.) would still require grinding it out the old fashioned way.

EDIT: Bonus points if acquiring these faction tags initially actually requires high faction standings to begin with, returning some of the benefits recently stripped away to those who actually bothered to grind out high standings for whatever various reasons.


They could use the very same tags that are for security status to improve faction standings, and I agree that it should only get you to zero as buying benefits should be kept to a minimum.

I think that CCP make more money out of people starting new toons so they can have the faction standings back to zero than providing a grind free option to fix it on older accounts that have had the faction standings screwed up by their inconsistant, opaque system.

I accidentally did a mission that gave me a -3% standings hit so did the right thing and un-subbed this account.
