Second, I don't see them doing a blanket "ALL reps are now account-wide" because that removes a lot of gameplay potential for alts for current-expansion reputation gates. For example, if your alt suddenly got Exalted Sunreaver Onslaught or Kirin Tor Offensive, then you'd have very little reason to do any 5.2 Isle of Thunder dailies or the solo scenarios at all, and you could just buy whatever you needed from the vendor straight away. They intend for alts to be played, not trivially carried. They've said before, they wants alts to be FASTER to gear up, not instant. So basically, if they did something like this, they would probably only do it for old expansions, previous expansions, e.g. if they did it during WoD then they'd only do it for factions belonging to classic through MoP. Make sense?
