I have been trying to find information on this for about 2 weeks now, but can't seem to find anything. Our Free Company is 'aligned' with the Maelstrom, and have reached <Standing: Allied>, the highest rank available. I figured it might be possible to switch to another Grand Company alignment, so we could rank up our standing to Allied as well. When I tried to do so, the NPC mentions that switching to that Grand Company would lower our standing with the previous one we were with. Has anyone tried to see how much standing you lose from switching? Is it all of it, or just a tier or two? Find it silly to show the standing for all the companies with the other two only always being 'Neutral'...
