Alright so i ran into a strange issue lately im trying to gain rep with a certain faction before i faction switched and now im back on same faction and a different race and i cant get rep from quests cause its giving the next one basically

Basicly what happens when ya switch does that flag that says max rep stay or does the flag for max rep goto the faction/race ya switch too

Q u o t e:
guess my other question as well is why wasnt i reverted back human like the faction switch was sapposed todo instead of giving the option

Because that is simply not the way the Faction Change process works, Jana. As Ancharia said early on, your reputation with various factions are translated according to a conversion table where your main reputation is always the race you have currently chosen. Had you have gone back to Human instead of becoming a Draenei, your reputation with Stormwind would have been reset to its previous value.

Also, once you begin championing Stormwind in the Argent Tournament you should receive Stormwind reputation. Furthermore, you are able to turn in Champion Writs you earn from various Argent Tournament dailies for Stormwind Commendation Badges.

I sincerely apologize for any confusion, Jana. Should you have any further questions, you may want to review our FAQ found here:

Preliminary information surrounding the Faction Change feature indicated that players may be unable to choose a new race when switching back to their original faction, but when the service was released the option to change races a second time was available to all players. Accordingly, you should not have been forced to go back to Human. :)
