Same. I got it when DMF came to town the last time before 5.0.4 went live. I was afraid it would do a "check" of where your reps currently were, and forget where you were at, as I did some quests to get SWC rep and re-tanked the BSB rep. Fortunately, I already finished it.

Yeah, the one this quoted is most definitely wrong.
Just like I got the Insane title on my hunter, but my Pally is my rep collector, and is at 61/70 reps towards the new Beloved title, and I don't have credit for Ravenholdt on my Pally, even though my Hunter has it. Simultaneously, my Hunter had to get exalted with all 4 SWC reps, even though my Pally had long since had them exalted, as well as DMF.

Its easy to figure out what is shared.
You just look at the meta requirements...
Loremaster, Raid Metas, pretty much most metas - criteria is all achievements, obviously bnet level
Insane and the PVP rep one - shows lines of text that are just a 'your rep level' check
Only achievement that seems to crap all over this system is the new Cooking achievements. I have 2 toons with half of the 600 cooking achievements each, yet you need to achieveme them all on the same toon to get credit for Master of the Ways
I got this title before they allowed it so that you could have Hated with one and Exalted with the other. And people complain now? What will all the rest of the nerfs they have these days on the title?
I'm glad I quit the game before this title became "the Mildly Difficult".
pirates in tanaris are indeed the best and only way, i was max exalted with both pirates and goblins, before this was a requirement. it really doesnt take as long as youd think, just remember to drop your guild banner ^^
Jeez.
And I thought I only had Ravenholdt left. Screw this then, I'm so not farming Bloodsails again. It was okay back in the day, even fun, but there's not a chance I'm doing that again now. Especially if that means also farming the damn goblins back up. I might be a little bit nuts, but that Insane I'm not. Once over, count me in, twice... ehh.
there was nothing to farm for months when i did it unfortunately, it took me a total of maybe 2 days of actual farming because i capped goblins first like a derp, never planning to actually go for insane. then capped pirates from full hated in booty bay... not fun at 85 i might add, then goblins again from full hated.
I'm not sure how you did it then. Not saying you're lying because I can see your armory, but I remember explicitly the rep would stop at Revered if you farmed in Booty Bay. After that you'd have to farm this guy to get rep, which he stops giving at 20999 Revered and then you'd turn in your single quest to hit Exalted.
I guess they've changed it.
yeah, booty bay gets you rep till exalted now
there was a guy in arathi highlands with a short respawn that i farmed for a while for bloodsail rep as well, think he got me up to friendly? maybe it was honored, then the rest was booty bay farming

Might wanna type this in chat /run AddTrackedAchievement(2336) to see your progress.
And for me the new check at 5.x didn't happen for sure, cause i was honored with bloodsail and all goblins at hated (got them at exalted somewhere in cata) and the goblins still showed as ticked off during MoP. I only had to finish DMF and thats what i did last time the faire was around and i got my title & feat of str.
About the 11999/12.000 stuck, just go to that island in the barrens and kill some there to ding next rep stage, then go back to tanaris pirate cove. Also drop your guild banner + group up in a party of 5 people if you know more ppl farming it for the group rep bonus (might be wrong on this :P, but at least it also increases the respawn rate insanely)
I remember it was allegedly changed during Cata so that booty bay bruisers would give reputation all the way until exalted at one point, but it was bugged on the patch release - I had the insane title but I was planning on "regrinding" it so I could have bloodsail at exalted too, but I killed a bruiser and got no rep from it and gave up on that plan, read up that it was bugged and the intended change to bruisers hadn't hit.
I'd presume it was later bugfixed at a later date so bruisers gave rep to exalted.
I wish I hadn't read that though, I've got far too much to do in MOP to go grinding pirates to exalted and then goblins back up. Woe to the compulsive reputation grinder.
all im going to say is its called Insane for a reason, its designed to drain your soul and make your hair fall out and lose all your friends.
The only way to tank your Bloodsail rep is to actually do the rep turn ins right outside of each of the goblin cities or doing actual Steamwheedle quests. Killing non-bloodsail pirates will not affect your rep with them at all.
The main thing I did when I got this back in Wrath was grind Tanaris pirates and Barrens pirates (just south of Ratchet). Of all the grinds in this achievement farming pirates was the 2nd easiest part of it at the time (only Bloodsail was easier, and DMF was significantly harder since there was no DM isle, plus there was Shen'drelar).
