the avowed quest line and rep farm by crossfiire. There should be a real, tangible benefit for having done this already. Accomplish more in World of Warcraft with in-game guides for Leveling, Gold, Professions, Achievements. Why make her grind utterly pointless?Īs far as I’m concerned, rep should absolutely be account wide. In vanilla it allowed you to attack members of that faction and lose reputation every time you killed one of them. Does anyone know what that does I’ve never seen this before. But now that I have, really, why are we forced to grind the same rep multiple times on our alts? If it’s to keep your alt from getting the good rep gear, why is that a good thing? Very often, by the time my Warrior is exalted and can get the decent gear on a rep vendor, she’s got better anyway. I just finished getting to Exalted with The Avowed and noticed there is an option to go to War with them until you are Hated. So the repeated suggestions I’ve seen this week saying that reputation should be account wide took me completely by surprise, because I’ve honestly stopped thinking about how weird and annoying rep grinds are, and so I had to be reminded by someone else - it’s so totally a part of my WoW experience that I honestly don’t really ever stop and think about it. I hated scourgestones, I hated Light’s Hope Chapel, I was completely and utterly tired of each and every one of those guys.

I remember by the time Naxxramas came out in vanilla, I was done with the Argent Dawn. It’s something that’s been in WoW so long that I sometimes even forget about how strange it feels, and the old saw about how the higher a player’s reputation with a faction is, the more they hate that faction for all the repeated grinding they had to do to achieve it really rings true to me.

Having to get it to max level on one character is bad enough, but having to do it over and over again on each new alt? It doesn’t feel really great. I think that Shadowlands, with its focus on the Renown system and Covenants, really made me aware of r eputation in World of Warcraft and how stifling it can be.
