I'm not going to flame somebody like you. You're civil and articulate and rather funny. I will say however, that I have the right to "complain" or "provide feedback" in whatever way that I want (within reason of course)! :) I'm passionate about the game and I would like to continue playing and preparing alts to do the end game. Just saying how I feel.

Pretty sure I'm on this guy's ignore but I disagree with this. My standpoint is fundamentally it does not make since that one would fight (literally) for his or her faction but not gain reputation with that faction. I know it's a game but even so, it doesn't make sense. P.S. I haven't done any PVP and I was in Beta. I just find it a bit silly. Don't even get me started on humans not being able to communicate with other humans crossfaction lol

And here we go. Every step of the attunement will now be systematically questioned in order of perceived pain. We turned down a bad road earlier this week. As for this specific post, if you played the game properly and did quests all the way to 50, you should end up with no more than about 4000 rep. That's just 2-3 days.

I guess my point was give us more options to get rep. As other posters suggested run Adventures you need the gear for the next step anyways. Crimelords and War of the Wilds best bet to get fast rep with your main faction.

Because it's an RPG and is all about character progression. Not account progression.

And it starts. One small adjustment in the attunement process, then people start crying that next, content will become easier. First, the completely unrelated to raids difficulty of the silver dungeon step, then, the completely unnecessary, lengthy, and time blocking step of reps might get an adjustment. What's next? Actually matching the difficulty of the content with the rewards provided by it? I really hope Carbine can brush the ePeen obssessed wannabe hardcore crys off their shoulders, and keep this game difficult, challenging, but remove needless timesinks that do nothing to establish skill or reward effort. Otherwise, there's no reason to play this game at all, if it's nothing but a time gated time sink that isn't fun or rewarding to play. Please continue to streamline the process so that we can continue to enjoy your great game, without being forced to do stupid, meaningless time wasting garbage.

Then while leveling, if you go to a battleground, a big warning should come up and say "IF YOU CHOOSE TO LEVEL THIS WAY YOU WILL CREATE A MASSIVE, HEADACHE INDUCING TIME GATE BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN START YOUR LENGTHY TIME GATED ATTUNEMENT PROCESS". Then, maybe you'd have a point. As it is, there is no "right" way to level. Get off your high horse, please. Oh, I also leveled solely through quests, only did STL once at 20 to see what it was like, and never touched PvP. I finished my leveling process at 22k rep. So, still a grind.

I can easily reverse your comment. If i do not pvp, only doing pve content  i should have everything that is pvp related no? Why people should be hindered? It goes both ways i think.

But you have everything pvp related even when only doing questing. There is no pvp content you have to work towards to unlock because you didn't pvp. Yet its the other way around. I find this whole discussion just idiotic. We're talking about something that doesn't require skill, you don't need to know the ins and outs of your class. You don't need a group to accomplish it. A bot could do it. So why does the assumption exist that rep grind is hardcore and needs to be one of the steps that are necessary to see if you're ready to raid. Is the last raid boss the host of jeopardy and asks trivia question about the lore of the game? If so than I could understand why we would need to grind quests etc.
 * edit* I'm not saying there should be content that is is barred behind a quest or something. Where you need to grind rep through pvp because that would be silly too.

Rep grinds have nothing to do with character progression.....they are purely a time sink.

Without casuals, you wouldnt have a game to even log in to. Like it or not, the majority of gamers are "casual". I dont care what market or what product you sell, you ALWAYS cater to the majority if you expect to make a profit. Careful what you ask for. You just might get it.
