How is everyone not renown 20 with the Loam faction yet?

I have a life.

Holy crap the gating of storyline behind rep is so dumb. I have hated that every time theyā€™ve done it, and this expansion in particular itā€™s bad. Iā€™m sure most of the playerbase hasnā€™t even seen the full story, and thereā€™s stuff that happens in game weā€™re all like ā€œhuh, wonder what that happenedā€ when the reasons for it are behind some impossibly long grind. Valdrakken accord rep as an example ā€“ its like what, 21 or 22 to get the green dragonflight stuff? Jesus. It took me months to get there WITH a contract up. I didnā€™t do world quests all the time, but I did a significant number of them plus all the zone quests I had available.

I get it, the game needs things to do that are easy to develop. I just think when you put in a system like that you really need to let players of all walks/types experience it, or as close as possible instead of ā€œthou shalt grind world quests ad infinitum and thou shalt like itā€ crap we keep getting. What about our pvp homies who want to enjoy a bit of storyline? Theyā€™ve gotta do world quests for a couple months between matches? Thatā€™s just downright silly.

I will never bother with any of this renown stuff.

Maybe because we donā€™t hug Research Under Fire every second every hour. Do you want your new Sword of the Lifeless?

Tbh Iā€™m only like R10 on my main, but Iā€™m running Abberus 8x 4-5 nights a week so I only have time for it usually in the morning with my coffee or if Iā€™m alt screening Netflix

low effort rage bait do better next time

If youā€™re gonna leech off the taxpayers at least play a better game with the funding, gawsh.

Thatā€™s why I am not participating in the season 2 upgrade gear raid/m+ content. Going down the rabbit hole of upgrades I just need a break from that push.

Maybe they canā€™t afford a better game because of their Cheeto and Monster addiction.

You know those renown tokens we get from quests?

Iā€™ve just got them sitting my bags so I can instantly complete the faction quest every week.

Why? Iā€™ve been busy doing other things, honestly. Same for the other renowns :dracthyr_sweat:

Because jedi survivor came out around the same time as the patch

Iā€™ll counter with: How is everyone not 430+ with 4pc already?

Ehhh I donā€™t make it there everyday. It will probably be just a couple days a week thing for me.

I was level 70 then deleted my vanilla toon. Actually I deleted 3 of them.
LOAM sucks

I havenā€™t even started the Loam faction renown grind yet. Iā€™ll get around to it at some point, but thereā€™s no rush. Iā€™ve spent most of my time in old content and will continue to do so.

How can people play the game in ways different than how I play? I mean how can they? How?

Your not making 125K gold an hour?!

How?

Iā€™m guessing killing rares or chasing those mini events?

Iā€™m roughly 13 by doing quests/WQ

Rares donā€™t even drop rep and are generally a waste of time for geared players (though I still kill them for other rare drops like manuscripts, pets, and the one mount). But you can name every other source of rep and Iā€™ve probably done it on cooldown, including doing digs on alts to fish for the BoA rep tokens. Darkmoon Faire buff when it was in town was also big since it overlapped two campaign tokens from chapters 3 and 4ā€¦and Iā€™m already human. Loamm contract rounded out the rest (doing every single Isles WQ with it), especially this week since the contract rep is buffed by the world quest event.
