Blizz has stated when ShadowLands is released, the Rep requirements for the (now) current Allied Races will be removed. It sure would be nice if they remove that requirement now…
Yes, yes, I know there is a rep buff lasting until SL pre-patch or whatever, and yes, that does make the grind a bit easier. But if it’s already in the card for it to be removed, and there’s no more BfA content patches, I personally see no good reason for it not to just be a hotfix/patch right now.
Why? Well, I’ve done the quest work to unlock all the allied races, but not the rep grind for a bunch of them. I don’t really have anything else in this expansion I really care to do, soo… well I’m basically about to unsub until SL pre-patch. I really don’t feel tossing $15/mo at Blizz solely to grind rep is worth it. However… if that requirement were removed now, well I’d be inclined to keep my sub active and start leveling an allied race character.
My 2 cents, anyways.
