Are you sticking to your main character because of rep/achievements?

[Airwaves]

No. In vanilla I played a warrior, BC a paladin/shammy, Wrath Paladin/Hunter, Cata Hunter/rogue, Mop Rogue/Warlock.

[Kuntantee]

Yes...Thousand times yes! But I have a little gaming ocd.

It's really annoying to see all those yellow bars on my alts when i only have a few non-exalted reps on my main

OCD INTENSIFIES

I'm fairly certain this is one of the few things that irritate the hell out of majority of players, even the ones that don't suffer from OCD (I can't even imagine what it does to those who suffer from OCD).

I recently dusted off my shaman after 2 years and it's so nice to see all those green bars at 999/999 but then I raged when I talked to a NPC from the anglers for example and a few other factions and all I saw were yellow bars shining out in the sea of green.

I accepted the fact that my characters will always be like that long ago because since the start of this game I switched servers (completely new characters) and factions about five or six times and although I have a lot of high level characters everywhere you can clearly tell which character was played in which expansion because I can't bother to go through every reputation again.

Got all the Insane reps, etc, on my Paladin, then switched to Boomkin in MoP when everything became account wide. Went back onto my main to finish up the MoP reps (when they added the Revered buff and rep tokens from Troll rares) to get the Beloved title.

Personally though they should not make reputation account wide because it just doesn't make sense in gameplay terms. It's your character that has earned rep with those factions, not you specifically. But they should add a buff for your alts for all of the older factions (Classic, TBC, WoTLK, Cata) if you have a character already exalted.

I actually did at the beginning of mop, farmed all rep, legendary on my dk. but I don't enjoy him anymore. so no.

Don't blow my mind here bro, I'm pretty sure it was me playing all those characters over 10 years.

And no reputation shouldn't be account wide because then it would really reduce the game to: get to max level, raid.

[get big or die mirin]

Not particularly.
My Warrior has had the most rep, and I will be finishing the Insane grind on it as I'm fairly certain the rep has to be all on one character. Apart from that, I reckon they should make rep just one panel, that's seen on all characters. No way in HELL am I grinding Hydraxian rep again

[ShasVa]

I've played my Hunter for a while now. Got her the legendary cloak, and exceptional gear (more Flex than LFR). But after a while she got boring; very powerful, but quite blergh! to play.

Now, I've moved onto my Protection Paladin. I started him months back because I heard how great and "nigh-invincible" they get, so I wanted in on it. I've not been to disappointed, albeit the grind for the legendary cloak is kinda irritating (but I'm getting closer now to the 5.3 part). I think I will stick with the Protection Paladin now, as my new main.

That's allready the case.

Reputation is useless for alts. Only perfectionist farm more than once rep there is no ingame reward (outside maybe cloud serpent riding but it's only cosmetic).

[Flowsion]

This is the problem I face in just playing alts for long periods of time, let alone changing to a new main

[Deleted]

no, I'm swapping mains almost every expansion >.>

[Deleted]

Not really.

I have farmed almost every rep to Exalted with my priest, which probably is another incentive to keep playing her.
But it's definitely not the deciding factor.

However: Just in case that I'll ever be going to play my Mage or Lock (for whatever reason), I've farmed ~65 Exalted reps with them as well. Just to be sure. :P
Staring at lots of unpleasant "Neutral"-bars? Not gonna happen.

[Adsertif]

No, I just love to raid with my class, I've tried Mage and it's no where near as fun to me.

[Shamanie]

Exactly why I don't play much alts, and alts will forever stay as alt.

[Jaen]

Yes, been playing since BC, so I've done way too much on him to even think about doing on another character. There are some reps you just don't want to do twice. =P I have raided on other characters as my 'main', but I know when a new expansion comes around, it's that first BC character that has to level first and grind out all the reps again.

[k0mpis]

I prefer to focus on one toon and get as much done on it as possible, helps that I still love my warrior after all these years.

[threads]

I used to have this problem with playing other toons because I didn't have any of my reps, but I stopped caring cause my main was honestly so boring I almost quit. I haven't bothered redoing them on my new main because it doesn't seem like a big deal anymore.

[Nazgrax]

been playing resto shaman since BC raids, I can't imagine changing, it just feels right playing it.

[-Scarecrow-]

I don't even know which of my characters I would consider my "main".

[Drayarr]

Stick with my main mostly because I'm pretty bad at the other classes
