All the people complaining about the Shen'dralar change make me laugh. What's REALLY disgusting is those of us that grinded our Bloodsail Buccaneer Rep to Exalted the hard way. Screw Booty Bay Bruisers giving that Rep now.

Pot. Kettle. Black. I think you're missing the fact that nobody was bitching about spending all the money and taking all the time, they were complaining about the time frame. In the new xpac, the only way Blizz could keep things together as far as story and this FoS go was to get rid of that one rep. If something crazy happened, and WoW ceased to exist tomorrow, all these digital things that make you feel like a special and unique snowflake would cease to exist and it wouldn't matter who did what when. Go drink a Pepsi and relax.
See, this alone should get you "The Insane" title.
As someone who has the Rep Completed, If you want something else I Think a Perma Ogre suit? =P Its not a mount or another title. Just something extra.
Giving people a lame FOS is stupid. At least give people a new title or better yet even an ogre pet! Not sure if one exists, but if not why not? That will show people that you did it before it was removed. Come on Blizz!
Right there with you bro, just finished mine finally a couple weeks ago and this announcement really ticked me off... if they went and made another similar achievement with another title and gave it to people that didn't get the Shen'dralar rep in time, that would be cool. As it stands the new FOS should include everything from the old achievement and maybe add the title "The Disturbed"
hmmm, actually, "the Disturbed" would be a helluva comsolation prize.... Blizz, we may have an answer!
This signiture is brought to you by the letters F and U, and the number 2.
"I know your $14.99 entitles you to play the game your way, but the rest of the raid's $359.76 says know your role."
Weak.
What would be so difficult about letting people still turn in the items in Cataclysm. Is it really better to nerf the hell out of an achievement that was cherished? What a shitty deal.
[whine]
Imho the only rep grind that ever deserved a title as "The Insane" was those few that did bsb to exalted, thats freaking crazy. Personally can think of a few grinds that was harder than Insane but that was pre 1.6. heck you can buy half the rep of AH if ur lazy and the rest is easymode. Whats the achivement of that? Title reward suggestions instead of insane: "AH camper" or "Gold buyer".
[/whine]
Some more fun grinding incoming at least, third time goblins on one of the chars to get bsb now, that will be great
Cant say im suprised, but its still only some binary numbers in their databases. : ) And for those sad pandas think of the guys/gals that did bsb to exalted, might make you feel a bit better ;d
So tell this to me people. How can you call this title 'The Insane' when you can do it in half the time soon? It's pretty damn stupid.
Well the thought of all of those people finishing that rep. is annoying to say the least..give the SHEN people an extra title so you don't throw loyal die-hard peeps under the bus..otherwise wow will suffer the same fate as Galaxies did...they Alienated much of their hardcore fan base in much of the same manner.
Yes...cuz it would have been HORRIBLE if those who waited till the last minute weren't able to complete theirs... you almost made the title MEAN something. What about the masses of people that you're robbing of their ability to get their ZG mounts? That's a LUCK factor.....as opposed to a lazy factor, considering you can get the title quite quickly if you put the effort in.... gratz lazy asses...you can take your time again...

That made my day.Shine on, you crazy diamonds.
My Nintendo FC is 2208-5726-4303.By Blizzard Entertainment:
Part of the reason is that Battlegrounds are like ducks.
Cool. Sate the masses. The death of a once great achievement.
I'm relieved that I sold 30k worth of Pristine Black Diamonds when I did. XD
Though, I do feel sympathy for the people that paid for them. This just goes to show that you never know what Blizzard are gonna do.
Will my Razzashi Hatchlings sell for 25k, or will they become obtainable from a vendor for 1g shortly after Cataclysm's release? These are the risks we take.

After spending 80k gold on getting my Shen'dralar rep and now seeing this blue post, makes me a sad panda. I agree on the suggestion that for those people who have Shen'dralar exalted, they should get a tabard, title, or a mount. As this was the hardest part of the grind.
Honestly Blizzard i hate you why keep this in the game i know several people besides myself that have farmed this hard and long to be unique like and spent huge amounts of gold on it and now ur just going to make it available to EVERYONE, why???
Personally i think it's a piss take to us and i don't care what anyone thinks about it thats all it is to us hardcore farmers that u are doing this. What Blizzard really should be doing is to make a new version of the insane in the membranes achive and not just keep the old one, but Blizzard is prolly to lazy to do it i guess
There is STILL going to be bloodsail rep? Does this mean that those of us who enjoy leveling will still be left at the mercy of assholes who slaughter questgivers all day long in STV? I was really hoping that Blizzard would fix this griefing-inducing crap. Well, good on you, dickheads who love to screw other people over so you can have a stupid hat.
I'm also one of the people that got BSB to exhalted, the times me and jazzrik spent in badlands made me wanting to slit my wrist at times, and then it was shelly, omg shelly is a pain in the ass, for me jazzrik took about 1 and a half month of doing nothing than killing him while I was awake and home, and shelly I don't even wanna talk about, and now they are making it soo easy that I'll prob level a char to 85, and grind the reps just to give ut to him, heck a lvl 1 twink could now have the title, they should atleast add another hard rep grind.
check list for lvl 1 twinks:
Exalted BSB (easy)
Exalted with Steamwheedle (easier)
Exalted with Ravenholdt (equally easy)
Exalted with DMF (YAWN)
any lvl 1 twinks that wants this?
Edit, realised that a lvl 1 twink can't get it because of the turnins, sadly enough, blizzard nerf it soo that I can give it to a lvl 1 twink!

Okay reading the amount of people who have the title already and are complaining because they don't get the opportunity to close the door on others, and remain 'unique and special snowflakes' is making me annoyed, and then making me laugh.
By your reckoning Blizz should remove ALL of the mounts and title-related rep and raid achievements after two years. So that's no Winterspring Saber, no Venomhide Ravasaur, no Guardian of Cenarius, no Rusted Proto etc etc.
It's been a long twisty-turny two years, and in that time Blizzard made the very sensible choice of LEAVING things in game, untouched. So that all of the new subscribers could obtain vanity items (yes, titles ARE counted as vanity) long afterwards, and were not penalised (as I was with the Plagued and Black drakes) for starting the raiding game late.
Get a grip, all you crazy diamonds have had Insane before anyone else did. Try not to complain because now everyone's got a shot at it without being forced to rush like hell and to shell out 100k gold to get it done before 4.0.3 hits. Fixing Shen'dralar, that's Blizz's business as to why they haven't. But clearly their customers want it, so they've left it in.
Oh and one more thing; For all of those just exhalted with Shen'dralar, what if Blizz had completely broken the achi and you wouldn't get it after 4.0.3 despite only having DMF to go? Oh I can imagine the tears... It'd be nice to see all the player base grateful for something for once.

I will be grateful... just gimmie a title for having Shend exalted already... "of the Shen'dralar" will be fine. New players that do it easy mode can have "the Insane" but the people who did it all get that one. Keeps us unique, which is all we really want in the end right? Shallow you say... why yes it is.
You poor bastards that did the Bloodsail to exalted have my sympathies... couldn't bring myself to do that one. You should get something as well.
It's not whining, its fair.
