The Reputation Elephant in the Room

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

If this is supposed to be a casualish environment, why must we grind reputations at the same rate as vanilla for PvP factions and Timbermaw/Thorium Brotherhood/etc.?

Can we get double Rep gain? Feels like only the hardcore players have the time to grind these reputations. I grinded WSG to exalted because we basically got to revered for free via Ashenvale event. Now I’m slogging my way through AB, not even running AB (STV for lumber), and don’t even want to think about the Thorium Brotherhood/Timbermaw rep gated enchanting recipes (that my guildies keep pestering me for). The mats to level enchanting and actually enchant gear (hundreds of dream dust and arcanite rod) are already insanely priced (500g+ on my server), that on top of the rep grind is a bit much.

Please make it easier for the masses to grind rep. Double the rep gain from Battlegrounds. Double rep gain from quests. Double rep gain all over the board (maybe not Emerald Wardens bc it’s already pretty easy?). It would be cool seeing people riding non-faction mounts but not having to spend 2000g to do so. This is supposed to be fun and casual friendly, yet there are many little things like this that are basically unobtainable for the majority of players.

I’m sure at some point I’ll do the grinds, but cmon - The entire SoD rep has been the same slow grind as vanilla. I think this could use a facelift!

Let’s update reputation gains! Crowd pleaser!

My alts wish they could get the rare-quality gear from AB/WSG at Friendly/Honored instead of Honored/Revered :expressionless:

Grinded out STV for lumber when it was still cheap and look at what they did now? Made it 4x more expensive. If your guildies dont want to help you with timbermaw rep, they shouldnt be complaining. You can get to honored in like 4-6 hours in a group of 5 just killing the furbolgs in lower left felwood. Solo is a different story.

Grinding Furbolgs gives ab rep?

This would require some deep forethought and effort on the ‘dev team’
something they very sorely lack

There are no Elekks in classic wow to gain reputation with silly.

In SOM it made sense, but blizz could throw the SOD folks a bone imo.

Tbh, this is just SOD. They should sell rep tokens at Walmart checkout lanes. Who cares. :rofl:

Lumber didnt go up in price what are you talking about

hey i signed in today, i should be exalted with everything. I signed in today, come on man - I’m a customer and customers are always exalted.

Also, i zoned into sunken temple - why isnt there a giant loot pinata waiting for me to click on it to just give me all the loot from the zone??!?

Just do Ashenvale or Blood Moon.

true statement, i got revered on my priest in silverwing (warsong rep) at level 11, its super easy ( I should say… it WAS super easy - before the set timers and now that stuff dies so fast - probably hard) - back in phase 1 i did this on my priest and yes, i was level 11 when I capped to revered (wands at level 11 hit level 25 stuff) and the little devil childrend (homecli’s) they hit anything so i grind so much rep per pop and phase 1 it popped at least 4 times and hour or more.

Isn’t that how it works on test servers :man_shrugging:

I don’t see the vendors anywhere.

Yeah a flat 100% buff to all reputation gains just like Discover’s Delight from 1-40 would go a long way to making these endgame vanilla reputations we’re now dealing with so much more palatable.

i dont like blood elves but the town just below thier starting area starting with a "t"something is a perfect way the starting area rep grinds should be. Its great you can start working on in before level 10 and be exalted by level 20 or shortly after level 20.

I meant the commendation sorry. Lumber was 1silver each.

Furbolgs in felwood give Timbermaw Rep. At honored you get the +15 Agi to weapons.
