Heyo so I just started the bloodsail grind to complete my Insane achievement.
I set myself to at war with booty bay and began laying into the guards mercilessly…However… my bloodsail rep is becoming more hated.

As you can see… It clearly says “INCREASED”, but its still going towards hated.
I did this for a bit just to see. After several reloads and relogs and +1k rep towards hated and down nearly 6k in booty bay rep (was exalted), nothing has changed.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug that I need to report?
Increased means it’s going up, as in positive, this is what you want to get yourself out of negative.
When I started the grind. I was at 28k hated.
I am now at 29k hated, not 27k hated like it should be.
It displays it is gaining, but I am losing rep.
It does not decrease. As the hated bar fills it brings you closer to the next level of rep. You do not start with 0 rep in hated for them unless you really farmed the hell out of them for drops back in the day.
Go kill a pirate and see which direction it goes. May solve your query
I just finished killing pirates.
Spent the past 6 hours hitting exalted with all the goblins.
“It does not decrease. As the hated bar fills it brings you closer to the next level of rep.”
So it doesn’t tick down to 0 to neutral?
By my understanding, it should be decreasing since I am becoming less hated, not going up.
No because rep bars always go up. Filling a bar means going up to the next level, no matter where you start.
You are looking at the rep bars from a perspective of 0 being neutral and to the left counting up gets worse and to the right counting up gets better, but that is not the case. The absolute worst rep you can have is 0/36000 in hated. As you fill hated it will change over to Hostile, when that fills it becomes Unfriendly, etc.
Yup, just confirmed what you said. 0/3k to unfriendly now.
All the rep grinds I’ve done over the years, this is the first time ticking down a hostile bar… can you tell? lol
Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
