This reputation grind is leagues WORSE than any rep grind in previous seasons, and it has half (or less) as many reputation levels than previous reps as well. I have cleared every journey bot the Reputation one, but my rep is barely almost 11.
I’ve used the Opals constantly, and those sometimes don’t give rep, and it doesn’t seem to scale with world tiers, giving sometimes 1 rep for a mob kill on T4, same as on T1, or sometimes they don’t award any reputations at all, in the Seething Realms and with an Opal effect active. It’s absurd how long this rep grind is taking on a single character I’ve played since VoH/S6 launch.
Please respect the time of your players.
Edit: Reporting this as a bug because the rep gains are low or non-existent, don’t seem to scale with world tiers, and the Opal buffs sometimes don’t give rep at all. Definitely seems bugged all around.
