Youre telling me that one singe person would leave the game because they made rep account wide? Why? What in the world would that actually change for someone aside from making it easier for people to switch mains/races/factions/etc?

I think he means it’s irrelevant in terms of power level and current content - but associated with other aspects of the game.
I know a TON of people that would come back to the game if they made a change like this.
Most of them enjoyed playing on different classes, and in some cases on both factions.
The grind associated is what pushed them away. That’s why they now play games that offer built in systems that don’t segregate the different classes/roles a player can play as much as WoW does.
Honestly - I think it would be great for the game.
I think they could even push the idea of playing the challenging content on various characters and roles. Like create achievements when you complete AotC across all specs of a class, or across x classes.
The player base would be so much better off - more people would have diversified experience across the 3 roles, and would be more familiar with what the other classes have to offer.

What if they just had account wide to revered…which would leave 12k rep grind for alts…which is a lot but not insanity?
I would maybe do the opposite - make it so that rep isn’t shared until you hit exalted, then apply it to the account.
This way the benefits associated with it were truly earned in their fullest by the single person that plays on that account.
Revered to exalted is 21k, not 12k.

You should just ignore that poster. They troll multiple threads for the purposes of being edgy. Don’t dignify them with a response.
For the record OP, I think account wide reps would be ok but only if reps were much harder to grind.

So what, go play other RPG’s. This game isn’t like that. The reward structure is based on you doing it multiple times for multiple rewards.
When they change the reward structure in such a manner than you only get one reward not 10 or w/e for doing it once then maybe. But that is something to go forward only on, not back since back is multiple rewards for doing it once.
Could they take less time at least? I don’t mind the content being challenging - I just hate that it’s so dull and droning and take so long.
I’m all about difficult content and having to earn stuff - but grinding out reps as they are now is worse than pounding my head against a wall.
This game has evolved and has become better over the years. This thread is just another example of the community asking for more evolution.
There’s no reason it can’t continue to change.

That change would involve less dungeons and raids and more world content. You people really going to be happy with that ?
A fair potion of the playerbase just does world content and reps on alts was a key component of that content - that content would need replacing.
I get it the people who barely play or who do a lot of dungeon and raid content have plenty to do and so hey what do they care if the content they don’t like doing disappears.
Yes, account wide reputations please. I’d like to get a paragon cache every single day.

Actually the devs force you to change classes and specs all the time based on what they want to excel in the latest tier. So, we are forced, if you are a CE type of person, to level and gear all new characters to be competitive and have spots in raids. Shadow Priests and Holy Pally’s are the flavor of the day and if you did not have one at the start of BFA, you are way behind for progression.
They force you ? How do they do that ? And what difference does it make if you were forced to change mains next expansion. The achievement for total reps IS account wide.
That’s a fair point - but I’m not sure how to analyze substantiate it one way or another.
Like if 80% of the player base played the game just to fill up their rep bars across x character - you make sense. But how do you show what the % is in reality?
I guess I’ve always considered the game being the dungeons and raids since it’s the thing that WoW does better than most other games.
Being forced into the world content over and over again is what influences me and so many others into other games where it’s a lot more fun to do - but even a bunch of those games have account-wide properties that we’re discussing.
So I don’t know - those other games make more things BoA, have more fun world content, and are still successful.
They could make the extra rep for paragon boxes apply only to each character - while keeping other rewards/benefits, like the essences, BoA for the honored/revered/exalted tiers.
Personally, I think you are just trying to find an excuse why you don’t like wow. Maybe you have just outgrown it. Try playing another game, or going to the gym, or reading a book. I don’t think giving your alts some rep is going to suddenly make you love wow again.

They’ve said no to some account-wide stuff and then turned around on that stance in the same expansion. Account-wide rep will probably be something they opt to compromise on at some point in the future.
People have issue with admitting they’ve outgrown WoW for some reason. Not sure why, there’s nothing wrong with it.
The last expansion where there was very little or no content other than dungeons and raids was WoD and that one lost 5 million subs in 6 months or so. Now of course no one can PROVE why all those people left, but the most common complaint what that there wasn’t anything to do.
There is a reason for this.
And that is because they devote most of their budget to it. However, that content is expensive to make and they need enough subs to do so.
This is not going to happen. People have been asking for this for years and the devs have never even once responded to this request in any serious manner. We are lucky that achievements related to reputation are shared across your accounts.
