I don’t know, it sounds more difficult than flipping a switch. He mentioned ‘working backwards’ to add old reps, but there must be technical issues. Sounds like that is the intent though, so we’ll get there.

Some limits def. Like how will Orgrimmar rep work with allaince? Bloodsail buccaneers? Ravenholt? Some reps make npcs hostile. What if you want one character friendly and one hostile?
Ion mentioned on stage that they’re working on older reps, eventually they will all be account wide.

Ion did say in the deep dive today that they are going to be working on making things retroactive as the expansion goes on, but because of the way things are built with older code, it’s gonna take time. Honestly, I’m alright with that, as long as they get it done.

I would LOVE for them to let us bang out a week of content in one go, instead of having to log on each day. I used to farm the heck out of content because I just prefer one-three long sessions (if possible) instead of a little each day.
A good example for me is back when I was levelling in BC, I found out about the Talbuk mount you could get. I paused my progression through the campaign to farm them, 4 days into the expansion so no one (on my server, Alleria) was farming the ogres but me. Did in 3 overnights 7pm-7am, never had to go back again. It’s one of my fave WoW memories!
A good example of “Ughghghhhghgggg” that isn’t ~picking on modern WoW is Ogri’la. I only recently, in the past 6 months, finally obtained everything I could xmog off the vendor on my main. You CAN farm the shards, but the mobs are sparse enough that it takes a long time to do that, it’s a better use of your time to just wait a day, but that to me doesn’t feel good, more mob density would fix the problem for both styles of players. I’m fine with a challenge, but when content is v not fun it’s a lot harder to motivate myself to bang it out. Coming from someone who got the OG with Shen’Drelar and everything.
YMMV folks, but you can farm as little as you want, or if you don’t have the time to do a longer sesssion of an entire week of dailies and you’d prefer a little each day. I’d prefer to be able to just farm something in longer sessions, which isn’t something that’s really doable in WoW’s current iteration, outside of fishing for Tuskaar rep in DF - unless there are more examples since WQs went in that I’m not thinking of. I know you could grind out flying on the ToS island by the chests, which I did not opt for but easily could have.
It’d be nice to have both options available to people so we can just organize our playtime in a way that fits our needs.

Then they can do it sort of like the gear upgrade. You could refuse the upgrade when logging into your character.
With reps you decide how you want to handle it when you log into the character. Take whatever the highest rep you have and make it the rep across all of your character, or leave it individual.

Did u not listen to him it will eventually be all reps but to start its just war with in I swear some people need to touch grass and breathe fresh air

Ion also said old content scaling would be fixed multiple times since BFA… I won’t hold my breath.
Well okay but like complaining about what they said they would do is counter intuitive…
What? In what world is pointing out that someone didn’t do what they said they would do counter intuitive, when the whole point is to remind them they didn’t do it and get it fixed?
They havent done anything yet but complaing war band rep is to start war within right after they said it takes some nuances for older rep and it is coming is counter intuitive they already said its coming we have nothing now but when we do get it cuurent faction is account wide older faction incoming soon
I don’t remember where I read it but they are already working on DF renown for 11.1 or something like that.
I would think it would be extremely easy for all reps that don’t have a choice (like Aldor/Scryer) and with those just give us a choice. Being old reps the rewards don’t matter and if they do make them cosmetic instead. Than just do a check on log in:
If character rep > account rep than account rep = character rep.
This would work with 90% or better reps and they could spend the time to figure out how they want to deal with the remaining few.
Moo!
Dude… read my post above you, I’m not talking about reps I’m talking about scaling. You know mob scaling and level scaling of old content? I am using that as an example to not get your hopes up on anything Ion says they will do.
