Reputation Difficulties

[Shyriena - Sanctuary]

I am almost level 60 (59 with 89.2% experience) Currently I am rank 2 and have 1453 reputation. I can get the level 60 rank 2 belt. But I am confused as to how I, at level 60, am supposed to feasibly obtain the level 60 Rank armor set. In order to obtain the level 60 rank armor set I need to obtain rank 4. I get a belt and ring at rank 2. I believe I get a set of heavy leggings at rank 3, I am not 100% sure. But from what I have seen, there is still level 60 armor offered at rank 4. I am sorry but I do not feasibly see any reasonable way to obtain rank 4 at anywhere near level 60. Rank 4 requires level 60 and 5000 Reputation. That is very unbalanced. Personally I feel you have the total amount of reputation too high for the appropriate level.

I believe 2500 rep should go with level 60 not level 50.

5000 rep should be for level 70.

I think the rank armor for level 60 should all be moved to rank 3. 2500 rep is still hard for a level 60 to get. 5000 is impossible.

To obtain 5000 reputation anywhere near level 60 is almost impossible. since almost everything you do to get rank also earns you experience. (Other than equipment trading) Killing the monsters, doing the FB runs, and doing the quests all earn experience. Even getting darkness stamps earns you experience if you kill the monsters yourself and do not buy the stamps from other players. That being said it is obvious that when you finally have the reputation, you are already way past level 60.

Is there a reason these numbers are so high?

Have the GM's considered this much? If so, what is the reason the numbers are so high? What was the reasoning behind this?

Please, I love the game but this is a problem that is hard to overcome.

Severely frustrated at this

Please help me with this, I cant do it alone...

I was wondering myself the same thing. hmm...

Rank 8 military gear requires 200k rep.
Also, do ALOT of FBs and Wraith Attacks. FBs give you rep for each run. wraith attacks can drop dog tags.
And have you seen these armors/weapons? IS NICE :D
If you are worried about getting exp and rank at the same time, just die every so often xD

Level 60 (Curse you stupid avatar x.x) and 1786 Rep.

I think that the rep difficulty could be PW's sneaky way of pushing the high levels into FBs, as you supposedly get a good amount there (cant say for sure, the only lower FB I've done so far is an untabbed solo on 19).

But it would make sense, because once the first "batch" of high levels made it through their FBs, they could help the next lot with their FBs, then they could help the next.. etc.

Again, it's just a theory, for all I know we could have completely missed another way to get rep

EDIT: ^ Whaddya know, it is about the FBs! Yay?

its just a huge ploy so wedding candies when they are in cash shop sell like hot cakes

I've heard of a lvl 9X, now 1XX Archer thats been playing for 2 years and still does not have 200k rep. So it's difficult =[

Yes, helping FB out would be of interest to the developers, so that the newer players do not get frustrated and leave because they cannot get any help. However, as stated above, Each of the FB runs grant EXP along with the Reputation. So this will still unbalance you. Making you level up to way above 60 before you can even possibly get rank 4. Most likely you will be in your mid 70's or higher.

As i said, purposely die to lose exp if you REALLY want to hit 60 with the required rep.

[NecroVaL - Heavens Tear]

Its possible to hit lvl 60 with at least 2.5 to 4k reputation...
I have guild member/friends who are about lvl 58 with more than 3k reputation. Perhaps alot of one-man quest or FBs to be done.
Well, I'm about lv 46 now, but have more than 2k reputation, so I don't seem a purpose why some cant.... ^^
Of course, alot of one-man quest need to be done...

Wow, do you die alot too? I am lvl 57 and still don't quite ahve 1500 rep, and it really frustrates me too. I've seen some of the higher rank stuff, and I gotta say it is awesome, but also gaining rep is a real pain. Especailly when I gained alot of lvls just from doing my quests during the experiance event. (by alot I mean at least 10, don't remember tha exact amount)
