I posted this in the middle of an earlier thread, but just really wanted peoples opinions.

Is there any reason Rare Scroll Traders couldn't sell scrolls to increase reputation points given? I know there are lots of different options to increase XP, but, with the EOTN title requirements for armour, couldn't they create them to help increase title rep too?

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the title reqs in EOTN, but just wondered if there was a reason Anet haven't considered this option?

Sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere!

I don't think adding reputation scrolls to the rare scroll trader makes any sense because it would possibly add another grind to the game.

Think about it. Let's say Anet added reputation scrolls to the rare scroll trader. I see a couple of problems with this:

1. These scrolls would almost always be sold out, which would mean most people would have to gain reputation the original way anyway (quests, missions, getting shrine blessings, etc)

2. Even if the rare scroll trader had the scrolls in stock, they would be EXPENSIVE,meaning that you would have to go farm to raise the money to buy them.

Sure, you might get a reputation scroll drop from a boss, but that's not efficient. One would gain reputation faster from repeating quests and using shrines than using scrolls.

Besides, you can get a hero's handbook/dungeon handbook, do the missions/dungeons, turn them in, gain reputation, and repeat.

The reputation title tracks are somewhat of a grind as it is, imo. I say leave it as it is. That's my two cents.

Scrolls for reputation points would make leveling up those titles to fast and easy.

Its not that they want you to spend 6hours a day farming, they want you to spend 6months slowly building up these titles.

Pick one hour a week, or two if your in a hurry, and clear a map/dungeon/quest and pick up a 1000 or 2000+ points.

Then go and do something you enjoy more, if thats pvp or missions in another chapter or maybe youve a few guildies that like to do dungeons or clear maps for points. Whatever you find fun, that is the purpose in playing the game.

Scroll trader seems unpopular since there is not a lot of benefit for our lvl 20 char

I like this idea, all the other scrolls are dirt cheap, and after a little bit of time these would be also.
