City tabards giving reputation in latest beta build

As of the recent beta build (13189) that went live earlier this evening, city tabards sold by racial factions (e.g., Thunder Bluff, Stormwind, Gnomeregan, Undercity) are now awarding reputation in dungeons. With the obvious exception of those offered by Gilneas and the Bilgewater Cartel, these tabards aren’t technically new to the game — you can get them at the Argent Tournament on the live servers right now if you want — but the reputation gains are definitely a new perk.

While you can still get the tabards from Argent Tournament vendors on the beta, each major city also has a faction quartermaster (usually close to the city’s flight master and introduced in beta build 13066 in late September, I think) selling both the tabard and a set of level 40 cloaks. The tabards are available at friendly for 8 silver (even at the Tournament — they no longer require Champion’s Seals), but you can’t get the cloaks without being exalted. Still, grinding reputation for one of your faction’s races should be considerably easier in Cataclysm — all you’ll have to do is get to friendly, buy a tabard and run dungeons as you normally would.

This is a great addition to the game. Not only will you have access to cool tabards even at a low level, but it should make getting other races’ mounts and faction discounts much easier as well.

The OverAchiever: Reputation factions in Cataclysm

Every Thursday, The Overachiever shows you how to work toward those sweet achievement points. This week, we find ourselves the designated butt-monkey of several new factions.

Hello again, fellow achievement-hunters. This week we’re going to finish up with a look at the new reputation factions available in Cataclysm and a quick look at new world events.

“There aren’t any new world events,” you point out.

That’s what makes it so quick. Although this goes without saying in any article discussing new achievements, there are a few spoilers in here discussing how you meet and work with various Cataclysm factions. If you’d rather stay unspoiled about upcoming quests, don’t go past the cut.

45 Exalted Reputations This is now the highest reputation-related achievement in the game. Interestingly, there is not a new title associated with it; you’ll still receive The Exalted at 40 Exalted Reputations, although it’s possible that it’s just a placeholder. Then again, if you already have 40 exalted reputations, getting 45 should be very simple during Cataclysm, as there’ll be at least six new reputation factions available. I’m not sure a new title’s going to be in the cards, as a result.

Breakfast Topic: Does your guild’s social reputation matter?

This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed, the Aol guest writer program that brings your words to WoW.com.

If you’ve been on the internet in any capacity for a few years, you are familiar with the Penny Arcade theory (NSFW language). I’ve just come through a couple weeks of this with my guild. It resulted in one person’s being kicked and another leaving. Briefly, the kicked person tried to sell tracking the Time-Lost Proto Drake for 5k gold. A person on the server paid 2,500g up front and was led on a wild goose chase, after which the ex-guild member phased, hearthed and put the “pigeon” on ignore. When an officer and I confronted the perpetrator, the lies grew ever more convoluted. I kicked him and repaid, from guild funds, the money stolen. The person who quit behaved in a manner that wasn’t appropriate. I called him out on it.

These incidents have me thinking: Does it matter how you behave in a fake world? Realistically, I’m probably never going to meet 95 percent of the people on my server. In our guild Code of Conduct, I state right at the beginning, “We do not tolerate malicious, hurtful behavior or speech in guild chat, party chat, WoW chat or on Vent. This is grounds for dismissal. Honor and respect each other and other guilds. When you join this guild, you represent us wherever you go. Respect others as you expect to be respected. Your integrity and actions directly reflect onto this guild. Inappropriate conduct with other guild members and the Llane community at large is not permitted and is grounds for dismissal.”

I am adamant about this. I feel that if you want to be treated with respect, taken seriously, invited to raids and not called out on the server forum, you must respect others. I’ve worked very hard to create a guild that is respected. When people think about us, they know we’re here for the fun of the game. We don’t take ourselves seriously, and we treat you fairly and with respect. Am I way off base here? Again, does it matter? How do you think your server views you and your guild? Do you care?
