Reflections On Championing And Reputations
I have to admit that grinding reputation for the different factions isn’t exactly something I’m known for. In fact, aside from the SSO and the aldor/scryers, both of my 70’s don’t have a single exalted rank for the TBC factions. Maybe it’s because I don’t really do 5 dungeons that often especially since I get most of my badges of justice from raiding Karazhan.
For guys who gain reputation really fast and for guys like me who tend to be slow, the latest planned feature for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion called Championing would be a great help to make the rep grind a lot easier. According to the World Wide Invitational, players will be able to use an item like a tabard to increase the reputation gains for whichever faction it belongs to. If we were to apply this system to the current TBC factions, it would work something like this. Let’s say you’re wearing the Lower City tabard and you’re doing Shadow Labyrinth, you’ll get more lower City rep than you’re supposed to normally get. If you’re wearing the same tabard but you’re doing Mechanar, you’ll get Lower City rep along with the Sha’tar rep you’re getting.
One reason why this feature will be so cool is that you can gain reputation for a faction by doing another dungeon you really want to do or find easier to do instead of forcing yourself to go to that dungeon you don’t really want to do but have to do just because of the rep you need. Currently, I find myself avoiding the Auchindoun dungeons because I don’t really like them. This is why my Lower City rep is pretty low. If I had championing now, I’d still be able to raise my LC rep by doing dungeons I like.
I wonder if championing affects raid dungeons as well? Just imagine if it did and if we had it now, we could raise our rep by raiding Karazhan or something and still get exalted with say the keepers of Time or something. This would definitely be something raiders would love to have.
