One of my oldest chars has most of the reps done from vanilla to legion done. I don’t like how warrior plays these days why do I have to re farm the reps I already farmed ? It makes no sense. Re rolling shouldn’t mean I lose out on a decade of game time
It’s a win for me!
It would be silly to say “no one xyz” though, cuz there are still people who want to get rid of flight or regress back to vanilla character models.
Account wide rep did happen but they also completely changed rep. 25 levels, time gates, can’t be rewarded multiple times, dripfed currency (oh, you can have the recipe early! But it’ll cost you acuity!)
If they hadn’t done that, the game would probably look weird.
I think SL was the turning point for a lot of holdouts.
Don’t get me wrong, covenants need to stay at one active per character (it’s built around that), but having to do each covenant four times to get all armor types was absurd.
Sure. But my point is that previously reps meant something.
Either player power, advancement of story, something.
Now your rep (renown) is basically useless. So the trade off was “reps that mattered, but char specific” was “account wide, but now they dont matter”.

Only people I saw dying on the hill were Blizzard employees.
I wish the rep would combine, so that maybe one day I could have exalted WSG and AB…
Also wish they do this for BfA because their buggy TWW launch nuked one of my exalted reps to neutral. Would rather have another char with exalted bring that back to my account than grinding out exalted again…
I don’t, I hate it. It did ruin the game for me
Plus these take longer to do
The 10th dentist is added for plausibility’s sake. If the ad said 10/10 dentists, people might start asking questions like… is that true?
9/10 dentists, you don’t even question it. Of course it’s true! What great toothpaste!

Spanish inquisition had something similar.
hmmm, right…

Is this like when “people said” that flight ruined the game? As in like 5 people that nobody paid attention to?

They were right. Warbands ruined this game.
Check dates.
yeah who ever said that?
I think all in-game resources should be account wide - or at least realm wide within a faction at the very least.
If I had to farm a resource on a toon, then I did it myself. I should be able to use that resource on any toon I want.
shards, crystals, valorstones, kej, gold, rep tokens, anything now and in the future.
it is ridiculous to have 17 shards on one character while I have zero on another one that I want to gear up.
And yet you’ve made a post stating exactly the opposite but don’t recall the waves of people having a similar vibe? I sure do. You can always take a game design choice that would be considered more player-centric, switch that with the opposite stance, and someone on the forums here will have it and garner support for their view. Always.
There are definitely some drawbacks, but as a player that has done the dragon lands fun ride multiple times, I’m over grinding that rep. And to justify all the cushy rewards they flaunt me with, well, my benefactors were righteous in earning that rep in the first place and I’m just here after them.
Grinding rep across multiple characters only contributes to time-played… unfortunately they’re finding new ways to implement “systems” that prioritize that stat, even with warbands.
Wow. You did some homework! I know this is just a sampling too - we used to see these threads pretty often over the years…

Yep and there was always some contrarians or people that just disagreed in every single thread.
I have no idea why some posters want to pretend it never happened. It’s weird because it’s not a big deal.
Nope.
But if you read the whole thread you would see why that might be.
I was one of the people against it.
I am stil against opening up the game to be more account progression instead of character progression.
Making reps account wide only really accomplished making reps worthless. I don’t count that as a win.
The main reason people were against it no longer exists. Reps had importance previously. Being able to use alts to quicken the process would have been a huge deal. Now that they are worthless (comparatively speaking), no one cares.
I think account wide rep is sick. It let’s me play alts the way I want to play them. If I want to replay them as an extension of my main I can do that, if I want to completely reprogress every quest and event then that option is open.
