Honor Hold/Thrallmar rep for a solo player

#0 - Jan. 14, 2009, 2:34 a.m.

I doubt this will post, since for some reason the forum login isn't bringing up the authenticator code box, but its worth a shot. Someone's probably already brought up the subject anyway, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I'm a solo player on a PVE realm. I have been a member for four years. And frankly, I'm a little disappointed that in order to get my rep to exalted status in Hellfire Peninsula I either have to group up (which I despise doing because Blizz hasn't figured or prefers not to create realms with child resistant locks), or I have to go pvp and grind and grind and grind and grind taking the local towers. Ever try to get 21000 rep 150 pts at a time?

I play a pve realm because I can't stand how the children (or the adults who take acting like children to the extreme) like to grief one another. I play solo, because those same people and thier opposing faction tend to be a bunch of foul mouthed, spoiled monsters whose parents haven't taught them the value of proper human interaction.

The heart of my problem is that I am extremely interested in attempting to go as far with my in-game professions as I can. I want to collect as many of the recipes as possible. Why is there no repeatable rep quest for hellfire peninsula faction rep? You wouldn't even have to create a new quest, as you've already got a repeatable bombing quest. Just make it a daily and add some rep reward to it.

I have filled all character creation slots on my realm, and only have two characters who are below level 60. I have levelled every in-game profession past 375. There can be no doubt that I enjoy playing. I have made many friends in-game, adults and children alike. But its extremely frustrating to be repeatedly killed by some little monster who couldn't cut it on a pvp realm, when all I want to do is get my rep up. Why must a pve realm solo player be forced to either endure either a group of people they'd prefer to have never met, or a psychopathic anti-social who just wants to show of the pvp skills they couldn't hone well enough on a pvp realm?

I can understand that, as a player that prefers a solo playstyle, this might prove a bit frustrating. There are a variety of methods to achieve Exalted reputation with that faction, but they do indeed require either running instances or PvP.

Alternatively, you do have the option of simply leveling beyond this content and returning when you are capable of soloing the necessary instances. In any case, if you'd like us to keep solo play more in mind when developing content, and especially reputations, please feel free to make a post on our Suggestions forum.

While this content isn't likely to change, you may be able to help ensure that those that prefer your playstyle don't find themselves in a similar position in the future.
