Simply baffling to see FDev have kept this in the 1.3 release after us beta players said this was not good... Baffling...
FDEV: making the rep decay is simply wrong - offline or online. Go back and look at the beta forums. The rational for this change was flawed as your team said it was to provide a solution to those that have been hostile to a faction. Okay, great. So those that work against a faction get 'foregiveness' if they simply ignore the said faction in 20 days. But those that support a faction get a penalty if they don't keep paying attention to them daily. See the problem?
Strongly suggest you quickly remove this bad change. As example I'll be on travel next week for a few weeks and will have zero time to play. So when I get back I will have lost all my allied status that took MONTHS to gain - not 20 days. And, frankly, gaining faction rep was a personal goal that at least helped make up for the shallowness of the game. So I'm here thinking 'why bother playing anymore ED' as when I return it will simply be yet more grinding to get back to where I was when left off = reduced progress = no satisfaction from playing game. Sorry but 1.3/PP offers nothing to me that compensates for this bad change. And this change as it is offers nothing but sending a message from your company to say "go away".
I'm not alone in this thought. Go back and read the beta forums if they still exist.

I tell yeah it's these silly little things that drives me nuts with FDev. Ever since I joined last Oct these releases always come with 'hair' attached - some sort of bad thing often unexpected but sometimes known. Oh well, trying to fight the fight to keep the interest in this game but it's getting tough. Haven't 'pledged' into the other option yet but it keeps getting more attractive with each E D release...
