Ok,so to be honest i think that punishing players for going offline for relatively short time periods is really a bad decision and taking their card drops away for example isn't really wise,since you force the players to always keep their PC running anyway because too much is based on your cards bonus.
1)I don't see how the community can be diminished by an offline progress system,if you got to work or sleep and you shut down your pc you won't be less active in the community cause you wouldn't be around at that time anyway so your contribution to the community fun will still be 0 at that point and if someone is going to be like too often offline then he doesn't enjoy his time with the community and probably is just interested in other aspects of the game.
2)I really like Slashed idea and i think it's the only correct way for it to work,maybe raise it to 100% gains for the first 8h offline time(regular work time) then decrease it by 5% every 1-2h until it hits 50% for those that can't log in on weekend or maybe just went for a trip or something like it.If someone reached 50% it stays like that for a certain period of time and goes completly offline after it until the person loges back on.
3)Honestly,the players activity should be based on what the player does in game when he's around and not on how long without a break his browser is runing.If you're around you still can use skills/train pets/send expeditions/chat/do challenges/mine/woodcut/change farming areas people will still be around to do this stuff to get an advantage and there will aslo come PVP/bosses and more unknown to me updates so let's not punish players for not being around when they just can't play anyway.
Players really should be kept online by the content of the game,the friends they made and their desire to rise up and not just by the desire to not be left behind because they don't keep the game runing when they're not playing it anyway.Hope my words will reach ray and he will at least think about it and i hope you guys will like it as well
