Quote:Also, regarding reputation, we're really trying hard in the expansion to make reputations less of a grind. We're trying to use reputation in new ways that don't require hours of repetitve behavior. To give an example, the Blood Elf secondary zone, Ghostlands, has a reputation associated with it. Do 2 quests -- go up a level. Do 3 more -- go up another level etc... No grinding whatsoever. It exists more for purposes of logical quest flow and world immersion (winning over a town -- proving yourself).

This really sounds like what I expect from reputation. If I advance 3 steps in a quest chain, I go up appropriately in standing.
Dammit, Quark, now I'm starting to itch for the expansion. Anyone have a beta key they're not using?

I was thinking that didn't make any sense. Less grindy, maybe. But 2-3 quests per level only makes sense at level 15.
Out of curiosity, does the alliance get the reputation based centaur quests in Desolace?

Unfortunately (For us suckers who are completionists).

If I recall, it's just a couple of minutes of grinding fairly profitable(for their level) mobs. Of course, the last time I did it, I duoed it, which doubles the rep for "kill and collect" stages.
I'm a completionist too, and those aren't nearly as bad as say Linken or some other things I could think of.

I think that depends entirely on what level you do the quest at. When it's green, it's a lot more "grindy" than when yellow or orange, as I recall. Level difference impacts rep dramatically

It annoys me to no end to know that there's an exclamation point sitting there... taunting me. And I'll never be able to make it go away...
