    Which is funny because I left my guild last night to join another that someone sweet-talked me into, and it turned out to be a guild where random people were constantly being invited (like, think spam-bots that just invite everyone who is unguilded). And people were constantly leaving. So I left too. And my guild rep (I had the highest at the time) disappeared. Not that it matters 'cause I'm not going back.

    Though, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there's only guild rep required to BUY the guild rewards. Once you have them, you have them for life.

    You do not lose rep until you join a new guild.

    In addition, you will lose guild rep with a guild 10 days after leaving it if you do not join a new guild.

    It is needed to unlock a number of guild achievements as well (assuming you want to contribute to that sort of thing :P)

    I did not know about the decay on rep. Thanks!

    Yes, you keep the items you bought even if you're not in the guild anymore (and can send the heirlooms to alts not in any guild, etc).

    Speaking of guild achievements, the one for getting 55 reps to exalted requires 1 person in the guild to have 55 reps exalted and be revered with the guild, not 55 exalted reps across everyone in the guild who's also revered with the guild.

    Pretty sure this is a bug they fixed. When we got the 55 exalted rep achievement, it was at the same time someone got their personal '30 exalted reps' achievement

    What? I thought it required 55 different reputations be exalted with revered members, but not 55 from a single guy.

    So far, I'm the only revered person in my guild and also the resident rep-aholic so the counter jumped up to 45 as soon as I hit revered. I assumed whenever someone who had one of the two stupid pvp reps (AV being the non-stupid rep), or Aldor (since I'm Scryer) or whatever got to revered then the counter would increase.

    I have 54 reps exalted without Dragonmaw and Earthen Ring and the counter on the achieve shows 54. I know for a fact that the other people who are revered with the guild have Dragonmaw and/or Earthen Ring exalted so that means it should theoretically be completed but it isn't.

    Zaleira finished Earthen Ring as his #55 and we got United Nations.

    Yeah, I'm sitting at 51 exalted myself. I still need Hydraxian, Ashtongue and Scale of the Sands though, so those are doable. Ohter than that, I'm kind of hoping guild exalted counts as one :P

    But yeah, it's a dumbly designed achievement.

    I'm also not a fan of noone even being able to buy the reward yet. At least they're changing the Armadillo one, but I guess the 55 reps one isn't as big of a deal since most guilds don't have people as crazy as me.

    Wait, so if you get guildkicked for lols, and rejoin moments later, you don't lose your rep?

    If so, I need to tell my GL, so that the officers guild kicking for shits and grins can return.

    Officers gkick people all the time in the Shamblers so no, you don't lose rep.

    Though it would be funny if someone created an alt that had a similar name to someone in the guild, with a dummy guild named Shambler Mílk, and that person who got kicked accepted the invite into that guild.

    And by funny I mean don't ever do this.

    Well, I did something silly and brought booty bay down to revered barely yesterday >_>

    I think it is missing others in the display too though, but i'm not sure which.

    Edit: Also, when I hit revered with guild it brought us up to 53, and each time I got a rep after that, it incremented our guild's exalted counter by one.

    I counted Booty Bay, because I figured you had it Exalted at one point. I also counted the five horde city factions that aren't displayed, but some others might be missing too

    I am questing there right now. I just did a quest to throw some bear cubs on it, and I saw a guy get the achievement in front of me. But when I bounce on the thing, I bounce a few times, but then I land on the edge of the bear-skin and I don't go back up. Mind you, I'm not landing on the wooden-construct holding the bear-skin.

    Ok, I loaded my profile in wowjuju, and I counted 55 there.

    And wowjuju gets its info from the same place we do, I thought.

    So...

    I could try to determine what the difference is, but that's more work than I feel like putting into it.

    Edit: It also does this pie chart:

    If you turned that quest in, I don't think you can get it. Or it might be a quest slightly further in the chain, not sure. But basically those bears have to be up for the bouncing to even work. It's dumb.

    Well, I got the achievement just after turning in the bear quest, but I had difficulty before I realised there's a grace period to start another bounce before the counter reset (shift click the ach).

    Just keep forward pushed at all times and use the mouse to keep yourself pointed towards the centre of the thingy.

    Warlock, you're not understanding what I'm saying.

    I haven't gotten the achievement yet because I haven't made it to the 20 bounces.

    I guess I can't resent name drops like Jarod Shadowsong in WoW quests, because I read the Warcraft books.

    Not that it matters anyway, because the context the names are being dropped means you don't actually have to read the books to understand things; they tell you right there with a single sentence who they were. Hurf durf nerd rage incoming.

    World of Warcraft - main property of Warcraft series
    Star Wars movies - main property of Star Wars series

    Jarod Shadowsong, in WoW, "Hey this is a good guy, help him."

    Grand Moff Tarkin, in Episode 4, "Hey this is a bad guy."

    Sometimes just taking people's word for things is enough. If you seek to know everything about everyone (and everything) that shows up in a work of fiction beyond what's actually necessary, that's your own thing to handle because its your desire. Wanna know more about Shadowsong or Tarkin? Read a book.

    And guess what? WoW and Star Wars are still enjoyable without the books!

    Mind you, I did find Shadowsong's introduction to be super hokey but who really cares. The game tells you exactly what you need to know, even if what there is to know isn't very interesting.

    WoW lore is layers of retcons and "whatever seemed cool at the moment" so it's hard to get that invested.

    I'm doing the questline involving him right now. But yeah, Ysera's introduction of him is like... spot on what you need to know. All you'd get from the book is just seeing him make commands. You're missing nothing.

    Don't get me wrong, context is great to have. But if you desire it, that's up to you to handle. Not everyone desires more context than what's given in the game.
