Prior to 1.14 patch reputation gains from quests used to start reducing when you were 6 levels above the level of the quest - same as when experience for the quest started reducing.
After the patch turning in quests where I was 4-5 levels above the level of the quests I only got a fraction of the expected reputation gain while still getting full experience for the quests.
Is this an intended change? It really puts a dent into trying to get factional reputation which was already a lot of work on Classic.
For specific example - turning in the People’s Militia (level 17 quest for Highwaymen, Pathstalkers, and Knuckledusters) at level 21 I only got 60 reputation instead of 150 for Stormwind.
Similarly when my brother and I turned in Miner’s Fortune - he was level 21, I was 22. We got 60 and 30 reputation respectively for the level 18 quest when it should have been 150 reputation with Ratchet.

Noticed this as well, seems to contradict various guilds and wikis out there for classic. Just did a bunch of level 16 quests at level 21 (+5). Received only 20% of the normal reputation gains. 20 rep versus 100 rep for most quests. Xp gain was normal.

My brother and I have created a strategy for “minimum pain for maximum gain” this past year - we track and ensure we complete each quest before getting 6 levels above it to maximize reputation gain. So we know these rep gains really well from first hand experience with 4-5 sets of characters.
This bug has effectively stopped us in our tracks on the pair we’re currently working.
Even worse - trying to turn in scourgestones for rep is only netting us 5 rep each turn in of 20 stones rather than 25 on our level 60 characters - so trying to get Argent Dawn rep up has gotten messed up too. We’re down to grinding now hoping the bug gets fixed.

Still having issues with rep gains?
I have not yet tested feather/bead turn ins for Timbermaw Hold faction since it’s been been changed with the update to 1.14 - have you?

From what I have heard, there is at least still an issue with Argent Dawn rep turn ins where the values for Scourgestone turn ins is massively undervalued.
