sons of hodir reputation tabard coming to wotlk classic

Blizzard has implemented a Sons of Hodir Tabard that will give Reputation Boosts when doing Northrend Dungeons. This tabard will function like any other reputation tabard. It will be purchasable from Quartermaster Lillehoff once you have reached Friendly reputation with the Sons of Hodir.

With the next update to Wrath Classic, we’re adding this new item:

hodirtabard
Our plan is for it to function just like other Northrend tabards, giving reputation boosts when doing normal and heroic dungeons in Northrend.

Completely pointless.

Pointless tabard no one asked for. Also dropped randomly into the game 6+ months in after everyone would have done maxed hodir.

The point is for people that haven’t maxed Hodir yet. Anyone jumping into WotLK right now would be behind on reputation and would have to grind this one out in a different way to literally every other faction.

Along with that, Hodir is the most useful faction out of all of them to have maxed, so instead of making people do dailies or buy rocks, they can now get the reputation while actually doing dungeon content, driving more people into playing together.

Those players would simply buy the dirt cheap relics, not use this tabard. Regardless of how you slice it, the tabard is too little too late. It could have been useful day 1 before everyone maxed hodir and relics were expensive. Now most people have already maxed it and relics are worth less than the snow in northrend.

I agree that the tabard is coming in oddly late, but it isn’t exactly doing harm just by existing.

“Anyone jumping into WotLK right now would be behind on reputation and would have to grind this one out in a different way to literally every other faction.”

The problem here is that Lich King is not receiving new players. Whenever a new player does decide to play WoW, they’re met with a solo experience, diminishing any actual point in continuing past level 20.

Realistically, how would you expect players to utilize this tabard when finding groups for level 80 content (regulars and heroics) is growing more impossible by the day? It’s much more feasible for players to spend 100-200 gold to purchase enough relics to become Exalted, especially since you have to already be Friendly to purchase this tabard.

“Along with that, Hodir is the most useful faction out of all of them to have maxed…”

Sons of Hodir IS a great reputation to have at Exalted – 100%. However, considering these enchants are BoA, only ONE character needs to reach Exalted for you to be able to purchase each enchant for every other of your characters.

“…they can now get the reputation while actually doing dungeon content, driving more people into playing together.”

Except that’s not doing anything because again, players only need one character at Exalted to never step foot in that zone again. The only thing that it’s doing is making Blizzard look more and more incompetent.
