Warla of Dragonmaw has done it again. Mere months after getting his twentieth exalted faction, he's become possibly the first person to get a Nether Ray from exalted with Sha'tari Skyguard, which counts as his thirty-first (current) exalted reputation.
Looking at Warla's rep page, it also appears that she's gotten some other factions to exalted and lost them, like both centaur clans and the Bloodsail Buccaneers. I can't imagine anyone doing that with the centaur clans, though -- it's not like you get any rewards or anything to show for it. Oh, and she's done both Aldors and Scryers for the tailoring patterns. And ... Ravenholdt and Shen'dralar? Ouch.
As expected, Warla gets blasted for "not having a life", and with 352 days /played that's kind of an easy shot to make. Still, he's older, says he has a girlfriend and job, and people have done weirder things in-game. I have a successful entrepreneur as a guildmate who plans to get five of every character to 70 (he's finished priests, working on warlocks, we're beginning to worry about him.)
How many factions do you have exalted? (I think I have, like, one.) What do you think about Warla?

So is Warla a guy or girl? You refer to him/her as both...
As for what I think, meh, whatever floats your boat. Life's too short to go about hating on people who play too much Warcraft or indulge in other relatively harmless vices.

I don't play WoW for the same reason most people do. I don't group, don't raid, don't PvP.
So I can understand playing for reasons that other people might think are "wastes of time" or "foolish".
More power to them. Whatever makes this "game" fun for them.

I'm revered by many factions but exalted with none. But 10 more runs of BM will get me my first.

My Blood Elf is cranking out exalted like nothing, but my original main never even had a single exalted (if I remember correctly).

Warla most likely A) has no girlfriend, as he claims; B) does not have any friends; and C) has no semblance of a social life.
I am exalted currently with:
The Sha'tar
Kurenai
The Scryers
Stormpike Guard
In about a week's time, I will be exalted with Netherwing.
Yay for having a life.

What's the point of having 5 70's of each character? I could see the point of having 3 of each (one for each specc), but even that is a stupid waste of time in itself to be honest. One is enough!
As for factions, I've got Aldor exalted and WSG, AB and AV - making me Conqueror!

I do respect him in some way, because he zombies must be less braindead then he is right now. I can't imagine i can ever push myself far enough to turn off my thinking processes and just grind, grind and... eh... grind.

The only faction I've ever gotten to Exalted is the Brood of Nozdormu. It was kinda hard NOT to though, if you're doing AQ40 on a daily basis.
Tried like hell to get Argent Dawn and Cenarion Circle to Exalted, but I only got them about 25% through Revered. Sigh.
So far, I'm only Honored with most of the BC factions.

I've got nine: Ironforge, Kurenai, Silverwing Sentinels (WSG), Sporeggar, Stormpike Guard (AV), The League of Arathor (AB), The Scryers, The Violet Eye (Kara), and last but definitely not least Timbermaw Hold. Human diplomacy FTW.

With some generous rounding, I get:
352 days played = 8448 hours
30 months since WoW release= 900 days
~9.5 hours played per day IF he/she bought WoW on release date and never missed a day.
Is that even POSSIBLE with a job and spouse? i suppose if WoW is the job, maybe, but I'd have a tough time seeing any other possibility....

Yep I was gonna bring up tombom on sc, but pat already did it for me. He's been pretty diligent about his faction rep...I guess it's a good accomplishment, although seems to be a bit of a silly time sink to me. /shrug
In any case, skullcrusher represent!

Wait... it's not possible to get exalted with Ravenholdt! It's a rogue only faction where the rep turn-in stops at friendly (if I recal) with no more quests after that!
oh and woo Dragonmaw!

I've actually seen a couple of people on Netherray mounts since 3 days ago on my server, Stormreaver-EU.
As for myself, I'm Exalted with these factions:
Darnassus
Stormwind
Kurenai
Lower City
The Aldor
In about 6 days time I can add Netherwing to that list. Usually, *IF* I grind rep, it's most of the time just for the Revered goodies (have Revered status with 11 factions).

i currently have 30 exalteds:
http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#character-reputation.xml?r=Khaz+Modan&n=Argent
and will have 31 tomorrow. had i gone out of my way to farm the hell out of either skyguard or netherwing (i saw the first of those mounts pop up on our server over the weekend), i could be at 32, i suppose. but i'd much rather take a more 'slow and steady' approach.
ravenholdt i'm still not quite sure on how anyone can get (doesn't the junkbox turnin cap at friendly?)
shen'drelar is pretty tedious at this time, but still fairly doable by gathering the librams, if someone is so inclined (i'm not.)
i got something like 282 days played and yeah, i've been married for 12 years now. ask me if i truly care what others think of how i spend my free time.

Its entirely possible that this character is played by one or more people making 9.5 hours complete possible. Plus if your grouped up and your the only looting the turn ins and the non bop items were given or bought....entirely possible. Just need to be clever :)
