I've been doing a lot of missioning lately, and I wanted to raise my Amarr standing. But despite plugging away at the npc's, I'm not gaining much, because of these two storyline missions, that give 0.6% and 2.6% respectively.
It's all I've been getting lately. Well almost. And I hear others comlaining of the same thing. So I was wondering if it's a common curse these days, to get 90% crappy storylines? How about you?
Since 2008.11.16 I have done 14 storylines, 13 of which were either MfWP or TDD.

Frankly, I'm tired of these. I'd like to get some faction standing someday soon. Am I just unlucky or is something broken with CCPs storyline generator?

Storyline agents have divisions too if your one is some boring guy from marketing division these two missions are pretty much all you get(with occasional "ferry 40000m3 of containers" mission that is just as bad)

It's random. The first seven storyline missions I had were two Transactions followed by five Materials. Once you get to level 3 storylines the Materials for War Prep isn't that bad. It's not as good on the faction increase as a good combat mission would be, but you get a +3 implant as a reward, so it's a quick 6-8 million ISK.

WRONG.
Storyline missions are not based on the division of the agent. Unless you consider an internal security agent giving nothing but MFWP and a special delivery every time acceptable for a combat agent.

i think all games have a really sucky random number generator and that EVE is no exception. I got MFWP about 5 times in a row before I picked up a 10part storyline mission (Kidnappers Strike).
Depressing... I've taken to just having a stockpile of omber at the station so I dont even have to bother going to get it.

I think it is just bad luck. I've had some similarly bad runs in the past.

Humans tend to think that an RNG must not have duplicates for something to be considered truly-random; at the same time they will make an extra effort to prevent repeats and thus, in effect, make poor RNGs.
