Don't think this has been on the radar since the Summer, I think it's time to revive this issue.

CCP removed the ability to see another player character's standings to Faction, Corps, and Agents. Agents we can live without and just view through API. However, the rest are helpful to those that follow the game Lore, RP, or are involved in FW, and add some color and depth to EVE and our identities in the game.

Reversing this ill considered change would I hope be the first small step by CCP to also reverse their previous disregard for Faction Warfare, roleplayers, and their own game's story/lore.

Some of it is still there - you can view this for anyone in your corporation but only by checking what group it's with - example: checking Amarr faction. Bring up the Amarr info, go to the standings tab, right-click your corporations standings with them and "view composition". There sits everyone in your corporation that is effecting it and how they are effecting it.

What they cannot do is check those outside of the corporation, nor check to see every last NPC faction you have dealt with by checking your characters information.

It added privacy but left the ability to see who is impacting your GROUPS effects by "asking" the NPC entity who they like/don't like. Instead of just clicking you and seeing everyone you deal with. Privacy to players is nice.

(how do you think a group like E-Uni was able, within minutes of a director logging on, to find 1 out of over 1,000 players who had just cost them their jump clone services by dealing with the JC provider corp's agents? Right-click -> view composition. Then right-click the low standings -> boot. Send e-mail "fix this and you can come back")

This composition stuff has been there for a long time and is easy to use.
