With how fucked up CRZ is in Legion do you really trust the monkeys at Blizzard to make this system work right? I don't that is for sure.
Sorry the more shit like this is being put out from Blizzard the more i really don't want to play WoW. Why do i need rep for a key "feature" of a future expansion, it doesn't make any sense no matter how you spin it. The content for BfA is looking really slim as well, so adding more and more gating to shit all content there is coming with bfa and it doesn't look like a buy for me... But it's early days yet and I might be surprised ROFL
the limitation is probably there so people feel compelled to purchase BfA and dont expect to get "free" content that they can enjoy without purchasing another expac.
imagine the horror if untold dozens of players find it worthwhile to replay the game as an allied race from 1 to 110 without purchasing the new expac.
The level 110 requirement is not account-wide. It's server specific. You can only create Allied Races on servers with a 110 present.

There is no existing void elf faction, so they picked Argussian Reach, looks like.
They should have removed the faction requirement entirely and instead used the "You Are Now Prepared!" achievement, which determines if you finished all the Argus quests and thus were introduced to void elves. Yes it's easier to get than exalted with Argussian Reach but it does have the distinct advantage of making sense.
Then again, maybe the void elf questline that gives the mount will interact with the Argussian Reach in some meaningful way, which would be perfectly fine.
Yes, because Blizzard totally didn't implement so many things that people complained about during Alpha/Beta/PTR on Live anyway Cus those are just for testing, amirite? Noooo need to worry xD
OT: Personally not affected by the 110 level limitation because I have a level 102 Alliance character on an Alliance-heavy realm which I will level in time (problem will be getting to exalted with Argussian Reach and Army of the Light... still not exalted with those even on my main...). But I do understand how it could be problematic... I hope Blizzard rethinks their requirements. New races are features that draw in new players... Until they find out they need to get exalted with the Nightborne (or any of the other races) first and just say "well, fuck this"

Maybe the Allied Races are not meant to be catered towards new players, ever thought of that? Based on the list of requirements (need a 110 on that realm and exalted reputation), they are clearly meant to be prestige races, even if the work required to get them is quite simple.
If the Allied Races are part of 7.3.5 there is plenty of prep time for people who want to roll them.
When we looked at the relics of the precursors, we saw the height civilization can attain.
When we looked at their ruins, we marked the danger of that height.

There's still time, least effort (but not fastest) way would be:
- send order hall missions for rep tokens
- camp when is specific emissary and do it (if any rep bonus like DMF is up, use it)
- if there is any WQ that gives rep tokens (they infrequently spawn), farm these on all alts and funnel into your main
Farming single WQs 75 rep per is kinda lame. :/
Thing is, I barely have time to play my main. I just log in to do the missions, some world quests every now and then (when I run out of order hall resources and/or when there is an Argussian Reach/Army emissary). I have yet to level my Alliance character to 110, and only when I do can I begin grinding stuff on him... But ye, will figure something out before BfA. Not in such an incredible hurry after all. Will enjoy my time ^^
I sure hope the datamined info saying the achievement for rep / questlines being account wide means I don't have to regrind suramaritarian or nightfallen exalted on my horde toon if my alliance main has it, as long as at least one char on the account has it. Here's to the hopes we can unlock allied races on opposite faction without regrinding reps.
