Critical Reputation Bug

[Kadir]

Reputation seems to be reduced here for lower lvl quests ("gray") to 1/5 of original value. For example for completing quest with reward of 250 you'll get only 50, so nobody will be able to return to start locations and farm rep later. Ofc it shouldn't be like that. Reputation should be reduced only for killing lower lvl mobs to 80% of original value, so by 20% not to 20%. For example for killing lower lvl mob which grants 15 you would receive 12.
Reputation for completing quests should never change. That's not exp which scales with lvl.
If it won't be changed we can forget lower repair costs from some factions, some of mounts from different races or reputation with furbolgs, cause they are lower lvl too if farmed on 60. I hope somebody from administration can respond what they plan to do with this.

It was fixed during the beta.

Did you see this bug, or are you just making this thread "just in case" ?

[Kadir]

Check yourself if you don't believe me, pick up some quest from different starting zone, it's still not fixed. I got 1/5 of reputation yesterday for gray quest.

This isn't a bug, but just like how it's supposed to work.

Proof:

What is Reputation Reduction?
This is the term given to the effect seen when a Reputation from a mob or quest is lower because of the level difference. Once the mob goes Grey, or a quest is six levels below you, you lose 20% of the total Reputation possible for the kill/completion for each level. This goes this way for four levels, until you reach the minimum Reputation gain of 20%. Example:

Morrowgrain to Feathermoon Stronghold is a level 50 quest. At level 56 it becomes Grey. The level rewards look like this.

Level Points
47 – 55 25 (100%)
56 20 (80%)
57 15 (60%)
58 10 (40%)
59 5 (20%)
60 5 (20%)

Edited: grammar

[Kadir]

Prior to patch 2.01, if the mob or quest level was 6 or more levels below you, the reputation gained would be lowered by 20% for each level to a minimum of 20%. The calculations below are presented merely for those interested in the way it used to work.

You're right Melvin, probably I got used to something else and forgot. Point for you ;d
That Before the Storm...

Then they could turn on that "rep spillover" for the balance.

Lol, I misread the OP.
