This has probably been mentioned 20 times in this thread already, but just incase..
Lets say, if your faction standing would drop by .01 per day. And killing pirates all day, you STILL might not get a .01 increase per day. So your efforts would be futile, wouldn't they?
So for people trying to get the faction standing up to +2.00 to get agents to Accept at Dock.. Thoughs people will probably never get the standing up to +2.00 because it drops faster than it goes up. If I read correctly, this paragraph may be nullified if lvl1 agents will accept you on a 0.0 standing.
Then there are the players that can only play EVE on the weekends. They wont be able to do agent missions period. Because every time they logon on Saturday, they will have to get their corp standings back up in order to work for their agents again. 
Correct me if i'm wrong..
BTW: I have lvl3 agents for each and every main race.. Minmater, Amarr, Gallente, and Calderi.. I'm very proud of my accomplishments. 
But I guess it was all in vain.. Because once you implement all these new nerf features, they will all soon forget about my triumphs.
I will have an implant for each race (Willpower, Charisma, Intel, and Memory) all before next patch. The sad thing is, with these stupid standing decreases. Next time I die and need more implants. I will have to start with the lvl1 agents and work my way back up to lvl3 all over again. 
I personally don't like the idea at all.. But oh well..
So what about Security Status? Is that going to drop daily as well? It shouldn't.
I think the standing system is fine the way it is. It's basically stored on a computer, so people would not forget you like your stating they would. It's written in stone as far as i'm concerned. You should not be gradually forgotten. And as far as a negative rating. That is also written in stone, but a gradual increase back to 0.0 is justified in this regard. Kind of like a probational period.
Dunno.. whatever.. I think you guys think alittle too much, and us paying players suffer for it.
