Suggestion regarding decay

If rep didn't decay you could grind to the top then decide you've had enough and never play again or stop bothering with PP, you'd permanently block a top slot. Decay is sensible from a player turnover (game and PP) point of view.

I assume this is about decay concerning PP. Some reaactions got me a bit confused.

There are no slots anymore. FD recognized that would not work.
If rep decayed only if you did not earn a certain amount of merits every week it would work just fine and would be a lot less demotivating.
Losing rep when you are not active is the most sensible way I feel. Losing rep while you are in the midst of doing your best working for your power is weird and unnecessarily punishing.

We've already done this bit, rep decays so you have to actively support factions you like. It also means that factions who don't like you will calm down over time and not hunt you to the end of the galaxy.

Yea see, I got that the first time it was said, believe it or not. Bearing that in mind, catching up to your old rep standing should be quicker than it was to attain it in the first place. Otherwise you're punishing the player for not playing, and that's awful. It's good you don't go below friendly though.

But if you grind yourself to the point where you're at the top then leave or stop PP'ing, you stay at the top altering the numbers FD uses to calculate thresholds (everyone can't be at the top or it wouldn't be the top) and you make the faction look like it's better supported than it really is making balancing potentially more difficult for the devs.

Decay makes PP work, if you want to support a power you have to actually support it consistently not grab the badge and never touch it again.
