If CCP's system wasn't poo we would've had at least this corp on the Amarr side. That was our intention, but because the high pop of Caldari mission runners our Amarr standing was low while the Caldari one was high.. i.e. the easy choice was to fight for Caldari.
Should just have let people sign up unless they were -2 or worse.
1. grind ONE person with good amarr standings up until he gets an important storyline mission.
2. kick all members apart from him, and complete his storyline
3. watch your average amarr corp standing surge.
4. join the amarr faction
5. re-join all the other characters.
I'm not an idiot. The problem was that we had people joining at a frequent basis (this corp is new, we broke off from another corp, partly to do FW). I.e. a few players daily, at different occations. And the ones in corp already wanted to kick off FW immediately. We were signed up instantly after FW was launched, I personally didn't even get to log in before we were in it.
As it is right now, most of our corp is old PvPers that right now spend our time mission running (over half of us for Amarr, ironicly), mixed with some FW. As far as I know we're not aiming to get high standing anywhere, it's not like a regular bigger sized corp that get high standing for JC's etc.
Good suggestions you put, but a bit misplaced. I still think the standing system in EVE is crap. I personally don't even capture bunkers etc because i dont' want to risk permenent damage with Gallente/Minmatar. I just want the PvP in FW. No missions, no bunker, just roaming pew pew. My corp is mostly the same afaik. The standings on many of us is low because we're not mission running fulltimers with social skills, we're more combat pilots, as well, which makes it worse. Yes, I have a grudge with CCP for having a poor standing system. It's not forgiving for standings drop, it's way too easy to gain standings, and it's affecting way too much things both on a corp- and a personal level.
