Lower the faction standing required for writs and mandates

Hi all,

I’m new to the forum and game, so forgive me if this was already brought up before or perhaps I’m missing something.

As it stands now, all factions require the following for improving reputation gains:

Honored => Writ (+50%)
Revered => Mandate (+100%)

However, with Revered being the highest reputation tier, wouldn’t it make more sense to have it in the following way instead:

Respected => Writ
Honored => Mandate

I just thought the above would make the grind for reputation more acceptable and for the timely use of the offerings provided by the quartermasters.

They’re at those levels of reputation for a reason. The Mandates are transferable between characters so then once you grind out Revered on one character, you can give them to other characters to speed up the process. It’s a special reward for working really hard to get to that level.

Also, Writs and Mandates won’t stack, so getting a writ earlier would only help a little to get to honored, and then you wouldn’t be able to use the Mandate to get the 100% boost anyways.

Oh I see. I actually didn’t realize that the mandates are transferable.
