Forum:Do you think that the "Galactic Readiness" decay rate is too fast?

Hello guys & gals! :)

First and foremost, I like the implementation of "decaying galactic readiness", but the one minor complaint that I have against it is on how quickly it happends. This doesn't really affect me that much because I play a lot of multiplayer, but it is still annoying. I will use "GR" for "Galactic Readiness" to save typing time.

From what I was able to observe, I went from 100% GR to 93% GR by not playing multiplayer for about 3 days.

I am not sure what factors go into determining how fast the GR degrades, but based on my observation above, you loose aproximately 2.34 GR per day (7 divided by 3 equals 2.333). I have yet to confirm this because as I was surfing the internet, I saw a bunch of varying results regarding the GR decay rate. However, I am sure that the GR decay rate is more than 1% per day.

Ideally, they should have just made it 1% per day. This way, if you're busy doing other things, you won't have to spend so much time getting it back up to 100%. Stuff like taking a 1 week vacation shouldn't result in a 16.38 GR drop (based on 2.34 per day decay rate). Dude, that just isn't fair. A 7% GR drop is understandable & acceptable, but 16.38 is way too much!

Thank you so much for keeping the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer community awesome guys & gals! :) Also, just in case you still haven't heard, there will be no "N7 Operation" for July 6th to the 9th.  However, they did say that it will be held on July 13th to the 16th.
