If a pilot goes out of their way to Decline every Agent Mission of a Particular Faction, thus should then repair Negative Standings with the Opposing Faction.
We should not have to deal with level 1 missions to try to resolve- 9+ standing.
Our Pilots are too strong for those missions and even though they are blitz, I strongly feel that they are a great waste of time.
Suggesting if we could skip the early stages of our hard work by gaining access to higher mission level content based on Skill Points on the Pilot in question.
A pilot might have the skill points, but does the pilot in question have the experience? Granted on paper I look like I can tear through a lot of the lvl 1, but I lack some of the practical experience that taking on say a lvl 3 agent mission might throw my way. Sometimes a pilot on paper looks far more impressive than he/she really is.
While I do agree that doing level 1 missions just to repair a negative or bad standing is a pain. At the same time. Maybe there is a reason for that pain. One reason might be, 'do not do this again;. Just my 2 cents or 2 Isk… whatever.
So how about supporting me for once and by that, agree that to repair faction standing should be via pilot skill points and not just throw every pilot back to grind low level 1 missions just to repair standing.
Sure thing, but as my time is limited and time is money as we all know you can send me 1 bil ISK to compensate for my time that I will spend thoroughly considering your proposal and its potential effects on all aspects of the game.
After receiving my bribe time compensation I gave thorough consideration to the proposal in the OP and it seems to me that it is a reasonable proposal that I can support.
Spending unallocated skillpoints on improving standings could be a proper idea.
The exact balance of how much for what amount of what type of standings is a delicate matter so requires careful considerations but the core concept on its own seems proper.
That is not the point, even though it does provide some form of Capsuleer engagement and interactions. New Pilots should have the option of going at it on their own and by allowing a booster of sorts to repair faction status is required.
Think of the Gankers with their negative faction standings after they pod a Pilot!
Faction standings are just as important as concord.
