"Earn Exalted status with Emperor Shaohao." - what?

[Bawl]

I don't mind the low rep per mob, but I am pretty disappointed with just how small the area where the mobs spawn is and even worse there really aren't many spawn points in the area either. With even a few people farming in the area you're lucky to be able to tag maybe one or two a minute.

God forbid you don't get exalted in 2 weeks

its more the fact the quest chain is tied into the rep (again i might ad.. stupid fucking system) and even getting to honoured is a fuckfest with mobs giving ~20 rep per kill and mob tagging still active.

This reputation grind is awful on high populated servers, but dat mount... i must have it!

2 weeks? Seems like folks are annoyed that it isn't done in 2 days.

Look up "Vale Healing" on YouTube. Not the song, the dialogue between Lorewalker Cho and Shaohao by AdriaCraft.

In-game? Kill Garrosh and take a portal to Pandaria from SoO, the Sha will die with Garrosh because he has consumed too much of Y'shaarj's heart during the encounter, taking them both down when he dies.

Garrosh doesn't die at the end of SoO.

I made a thread about this yesterday. Basically, it's a gating technique that was used in Vanilla. Despite the Devs claiming Hydraxian was worse, it really wasn't. This is far, far slower as there is no raid rep and nearly every enemy is an elite that can kill a BiS geared player in less than 10 seconds if they don't use defensive tactics.

And, of course, there are people that are going to call this "too easy, lol wellfare mount."

This rep isn't even that bad compared to the pirate reps.

Hydraxian is FAR worse because you're gated with raid lockouts, making it impossible to farm outside of raiding at a certain point. It takes months with absolutely no way to farm around it. Hydraxian is FAR, FAR slower. Don't spew that nonsense.

Hydraxian is still worse than this one even to this day because of the several month mandatory wait.

Not sure why people are complaining about the rep for this guy - he doesn't even really give worthwhile gear, just a mount and some novelty stuff. Really now, there's bigger things if you want to find a reason to complain lol....

I believe people were whining how its so easy to get exalted nowadays. This will keep them pre-occupied.

No it wont. It won't keep nearly as many people as you think occupied at all. They don't like grinds. See the daily qq fest for the rep that was at the start of the expansion.

I'll have to concede I forgot there wasn't a way to reach exalted that didn't involve MC's lockout.

Personally, I don't mind a rep system that is slow, or grindy.

HOWEVER, any rep system where the act of YOU gaining rep literally prevents someone else from getting rep (tag based, too few mobs), is a broken system. Either add more mobs, or make them open tag on rep.

I keep hearing "It's new, it'll die down in a few days"

Well guess what, it won't, because the people grinding NOW, are the same people grinding still, in 3 months.

[Grimble]

with any luck we will have next exp in spring, so closer to 6 months

Nope, Pandaland wasn't released until almost a year after it was announced, and the new one isn't even announced yet.
