Lol, but really, I can understand your concern. You want a way to increase faction without re-doing lower level missions you've already done. That makes a heck of alot of sense to me. The game definitely needs ways to accomplish a given task without re-doing content.

(I've surrendered that I won't ever get HK-51 not because I wouldn't be willing to do hardmode difficulty content, but because I already did that mission, that's already part of my story, and redoing that content would make less story sense that everyone complains the end of ME3 was.)

Finding things in the open world seems a better way to do it though than through crew-skills. (Perhaps ... in a place like Outlaw's Den? - There's still a PvE only way to increase it)
I would be up for that. They already have a "system in place for this". They just need to do a "data cron"-like "explore" system for locations of things to "find" and have a quest (for each rep faction) that has a list of NPCs who would be interested in the objects.

Sounds great , I'm glad it turned out to not be PVP only. On that note I wonder if the Gree vendor will have PVP only rewards ? I would like to see some of the earlier planets included in the months ahead.

Gives us all something else to do in-game and with the level cap going up in a few weeks , then that makes me even happier. I'm happy about the new level and reputation progressions.

Cheers,

I hope they take another page from the WoW playbook and implement the minigames that have been requested on these forums ad nauseum.

I remember getting the 30 exalted rep achievement in WoW and I have no interest in any rep grinding in this game. But I do appreciate that for many people this will be their first experience with it and it will seem like a blast for many.

Has anyone else noticed the misspelling of "Mandalorian" in the image of the title?

Lol, Pazaak has been coming up again and again since the launch of the game. Would certainly make all those long que-times more enjoyable (although would probably need a bit of a rules update to keep it interesting).

That being said, I don't think it'll be coming anytime soon.

I'd be all for it. Could totally see a new breed of rage threads opening up, however, about pazaak opponents always getting whisked away when their queues pop leaving people high and dry.

If each round lasted well under 60 seconds I don't think that'd be much of a problem.

Section X, Heroic Space Missions, Voss heroics.... It's like you picked all the most annoying content to foist on us.
I agree with this. Pretty much the most grindy content you've got so you choose to make it even more grindy

Well they are instituting a *grind*. It would be a bit odd if they tied it to "non-grindy" content.

4 reputation pools per faction ~ not going to double count space & Section X ~, with 4 new venders & 6 tiers of different items.... can't wait to see what they have to offer. I'm assuming they'll take credits.

There is a CM button in the Reptuation UI, and it says there will be temporary boosts to reputation gains available. I hope we won't see a p2w situation where trophy items and ranks are for sale in the CM......

Will the gree event have an event vendor & event currency? Assuming that the Gree Event is temporary & not permanent content... Will we be getting discrete event vendors & reputation vendors for the Gree? Or will there simply be 1 gree vendor? Will the Gree reputation vendor stick around after the event is over, eventhough we won't be able to advance our Gree reputation once the event ends?
