I start doing the rep grind to finish it, be like “this is unfun and not worth it”, give up and go play something else. And then I don’t even feel like making a new character that’s an allied race anymore. Ugh, it’s the worst.
I always get the urge to play this game again, see some cool looking new races to try out to spark my interest, and then whenever I try to grind out the rep I just get bored and give up. Please for the love of god don’t make any more races or classes or anything unlocked behind rep grinds, it’s the worst and it’s literally killing my will to play this game anymore.

I got them unlocked, well, except Mag’har, the real grind is unlocking the heritage armor, leveling is soooooooo boring, seriously, the quests are always the same, the story of the zone is rarely entertaining and hitting a new level feels useless because there is a high chance you will spend 6 levels without gaining a new ability or talent.

Jesus no. I give up, I can’t play your game anymore Blizzard if you’re going to make it this boring and awful. I want to have fun again, please.

The rep grinds are insanely easy and they made them even easier…really nothing to complain about in my opinion.
By the time you do current game content of leveling to max, you’ll already practically be there for new allied races.

Why would any of these races ally with you, if you’re so unwilling to do anything worthy of them doing so?

Lol I made my Tauren hm not too long after I unlocked them. Totally worth it.

That’s the problem, they’re just boring grindy content that is not entertaining in the slightest. I can’t bring myself to do them because they’re so boring, and then like that guy said above, what am I working towards? The ability to unlock a shiny new race that I’ll then have to level with another boring grind? Whew, what a reward.
I open video games for entertainment, and the allied race grind is the complete opposite of that.

I mean to be fair the Zandalari should be licking my toes. I saved their kingdom and killed an old god for them. Idk what else they would want in order for me to make one of them.

But they’re not grindy. By the time you do the content, you’ll practically have them already.
The only ones I think were a hassle are void elves and they buffed rep gains to make it a cake walk…
I mean, if you don’t want to even play the race why complain that It’s hard for you to unlock them?

I’m complaining because it’s killing my will to play the game at all anymore. It’s not fun, it’s boring. I would like if Blizzard would make less boring and grindy content and more fun and entertaining content, please.

Isn’t that all that’s pretty much required? People who have done that should be able to unlock the Zandalari on day one, if I’m not mistaken.

I’m sure they’ll find something for us to grind out. They’re not going to just add a new race into the game without finding a way to make people work for it, those days are gone.

I guess, tons of people didn’t seem to mind and unlocked them already. I personally really enjoyed Suramaur and getting to exalted wasn’t an issue for me. Highmountain I was exalted with by the time I was max level.
The only one I found a little grindy was mag’har, but I wanted to unlock them and focused all my mission table quests for that rep.

I’m doing the Argussian Reach/Army of the Light ones now, and having no flight is honestly the worst part of it. I don’t even know if I will ever get to the actual BfA ones. I might wait until after flight is out in those zones maybe.

I was lucky in the fact I knew I was just going to race change, since I didn’t care about the heritage armor. So most my grind was really just mission boarding it, since it was just whenever. I would be really annoyed if I wanted to level one and had to put it off just to get the rep done.

I could be wrong but past that I think it just requires a clear of the new raid. Which should be doable in LFR of course.
Here we go…

It’s exactly what the game is like for me now, it sucks. The new races are definitely something that give me the urge to come back to the game and play it again, well done on that Blizzard. But the rep grind pretty much is a huge brick wall in my way and always makes me just go play something else instead and completely lose any urge to play the game again anymore.

Some of them like dark iron will come with just casual play. I have had no desire to level more than two toons to max since MoP so the allied races dknt really appeal much to me. But I unlocked dark iron just because I got exalted with 7th Legion. For the lore, I can live vicariously through those that have unlocked it. Leveling two through Kul Tiras was a drag, no point in suffering through that again.
i got to exalted rep with CHampions and 7th legion by just doing the mission board and the wq reps whenever theyre up. Sure it took me a while, but it only took me like an hour of playtime? Then I went and did other things till the next thing popped. Halfway done with the others, by the time KT’s come out I should have the admiralty at exalted
You really just get them unlocked by doing the same content you would be doing already, it’s because you’re making it into a big deal that you have to do this huge ordeal to get it. Got 2 of them unlocked and wasn’t even grinding for it was just doing what I already was doing and got it. The more you complain about how bad it is the longer it’s going to take you to get them and you’ll eventually just never do it and cry on the forums asking for them to be free.
