Maybe MJ or someone else with more Faction farming than I can chime in here, but my experience has been that they want to give people small incentives to up their reputaion with certain groups of people in the game. As others have said, if you're a crafter, it could be a nice money maker to be able to enchant say one of the two flavors of +agi that the timbermaw offer.
Do you need any of these rewards? Not really. It is for the most hardcore players that simply must have every recipe/reward.
Furthermore, faction grinding is not for the soloist. I'm not sure if this still works, but when I farmed Timbermaw faction, you could have a raid group doing the killing, and the entire raid would still get credit as long as you were healing teammates or damaging the mob. Imagine 5 mages, 3 priests and 2 druids as an example group. Or 8 mages and 2 priests, or 38 mages and 2 priests. Point is that most of my farming was done 10 man and we were clearing faster than respawn on the northern felwood furbolg camp.
Jarulf, I know the noble goals that you have for the game, but there are some things that either must be conceded or done with a group to preseve one's sanity.
