75 reputation per daily. The grind is real bad!

[MonsieuRoberts]

Gated by your own time and skill. I feel like that's how it should be, but design goals were different then.

Now, it seems that they care about how long people are playing, and this content gating is an insidiously effective way of ensuring you keep getting paid.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Gating hasn't been this front-and-centre in a long time. If you don't like it, don't do the content. That's all I'm saying.

(And by don't do the content that's basically saying unsub.)

there was gating in mop same as this but yes i do agree with you.

[Eleccybubb]

I don't see an issue. So what?

Why do you need rep quicker?

I agree. Rep comes quite well from WQs. Should have flying just after invasions open next week if you keep at it.

[Polarthief]

The invasion scenarios (available next week) award 1500 rep

Lol what? That's 1650 with the Darkmoon Faire rep bonus (1800 for Humans)

Even without it, that's 6k rep for 4 invasions; that's so stupidly broken, considering I'm already at like ~2k/12k Honored. Glad to know I'll be Revered next week!

If legionfall doesn't have Emissary, it will take forever.

I don't know if Legionfall has an emissary daily, but this is obviously Blizzards way of trying to keep people subscribed. Release content and time-gate the hell out of it. Essentially forcing people to pay a minimum of $30 in order to complete the quest chain.

Want flight? Explore a bit and get some chests/rares. Seriously, I'm already 2k honored and I didn't have any rep bonuses until today (only 10% bonus from DMF).

This is one case where they're only padding flight for a week and not months and months like WoD was, a fucking carrot on a stick they dangled in front of us the ENTIRE FUCKING EXPANSION.

Read that statement again. Very carefully. If you are giving them money, but it's not from your pocket, you aren't giving them money. SOMEONE ELSE IS

Only because you're providing that person with gold. Blizzard still get money thanks to you, directly or indirectly.

[Manabomb]

7.2 is the best guys! It totally wasn't rushed to make Q2 look really good and keep players subscribed until the new raid is finished. It's not a grind! Really! It's why we made ilvl scaling! *Sarcasm*

[Niwes]

My motto is "Never give Blizzard any real life money."

I have tons of gold.
I converted them to Game Time and Battle.net balance.

But I don't plan to farm more gold.

i never met a stupid one like you. sorry.

you realize that EVERY token YOU buy, gives blizz 5 bugs for free ?

its ppl like you that feed blizz endlessly and they just laugh about ppl like you. cheeseus is this stupid.

[Manabomb]

Only because you're providing that person with gold. Blizzard still get money thanks to you, directly or indirectly.

But that person already paid for and got their product. The product (gametime) that's on sale by Blizzard for gold is Blizzard selling their service for gold. It makes no effect whether or not I buy gametime through gold, because someone already supported Blizzard by giving them their real money. I'm not giving /my/ money to Blizzard, but I'll gladly give /someone else's/ money to Blizzard.

Their way of getting people to stay subbed is by releasing regular, good patches.

If that's their way then why aren't they doing it?

[Kazuchika]

How did you do that? I did all the WQs AND the supply turn ins, AND the questlines AND got a couple of token from the mission table - and I am only 4600 / 6000

There are around 4-6 WQs up every day....that is 300-450 rep. Patch is out for 5 days in EU, 6 in US...just with WQs alone you would barely be in the 3000 rep ballpark?

My main hit honored today as well doing nothing but the same. Not sure how you're not there yet if you started day 1. I definitely didn't have some windfall of tokens from my table

Also I imagined getting to honored would at least unlock a new quest or something. It didn't. This patch just keeps getting more and more lame by the day.

So it is a win-win then! You don't give them -your- money, and they still get 5 dollars more then they would have normally gotten with a sub. If it is padding then it looks like it is truly working!

[Deleted]

Honestly..no idea. I usually do my WQs in the evening after work. Just checked my map. There are 6s WQs up. 6 WQs = 450 rep. I am on EU. That is 5 days of WQs. Equals 2250 rep. Maybe if I'd cleared them in the morning, new ones would pop up by the afternoon / evening - but as it is now, that is what I see. 6 WQs at 75 rep each

And when one of the six is a pet battle one there's really only five. Because fuck pet battles.

Actually it does, because if you wouldn't be willing to purchase it with gold, then price for the token would drop thus giving the people buying it with real money less incentive to do so.

The pet battle is super easy.
2 Anubisath Idol win ALL battles.

It doesn't give resource.

[micwini]

Who cares about rep? anything gated behind rep? Thought everything was timegated

[Nnyco]

what is that darkmoon buff?

there is a carusel in darkmoon faire, if you ride it you gain 10% more reputation for 1hour or you buy a hat there which gives same buff but u dont have togo back to dmf to refresh

[Venziir]

You need to be revered to unlock flying.

[PraisCthulhu]

After someone paid $20 for the token, Blizzard has already made $20.
Whatever I do doesn't change that. If I don't buy the token, someone else will.

LoL at the people who used resource for rep.
You should wait for Mage Tower and Darkmoon. That is 40% extra.

You realize if no one is turning in resources, we'll never get the mage tower right....

[Fleckens]

I'm 2.5k into honored. Without invasions I'll be revered next week. It took a month+ to get exalted with tanaan

May I ask how, assuming there must be some rep gains outside of the story quests and the world quests that I have missed as I'm human, got darkmoon faire buff today and I'm only 5750/6000 after doing every world quest available including pet battles, only thing I know I've missed are the tokens as I've been unlucky, but I doubt you would have gotten 11 rep tokens already.

[Thorbalt]

If legionfall doesn't have Emissary, it will take forever.

or you could be smart enough to realize a bulk of the rep will come from the invasions round two and associated quest chains which start on tuesday

but that would mean you are smart enough to actually realize that not everything is supposed to be done in one sitting. considering you made the thread, its a very suspect idea
