Account wide reputation

Any plans to make the reputation system account wide rather than per character?
One of the things I like about SWTOR is the legacy system. In particular, reputation gains will be for the entire legacy, i.e. account wide, not per character. Do we really need to grind the same content multiple times for each captain? This will become worse if you introduce new reputation factions.

my gosh you ARE new here, aren't you?
you're dealing with a Developer that destroyed STF gameplay just to implement a new rewards system that was just fine to begin with!
your suggestion makes sense...so don't expect it to be in the game.

Besides why should Admiral Whosit care how your important Admiral friend or cousin is? He just met you for the first time.

All cloaks should be canon.
But some kind of account-wide accomplishments/achievement system I think might make it. So for example, when you've hit T5 in a reputation on one character, you get a non-cumulative 10 or 20 percent boost to reputation gain in that category on all your alts. When you've hit T4 in a CXP category, same thing. When one of your characters completes all 11 CXP categories, all your characters get 1 extra assignment slot. Maxing out R&D on one character might improve or even the amount of R&D XP you get on your alts. And so on. Either by default, granting these perks, or simply unlocking them for purchase on an alt-by-alt basis with said alt's accolade points.
I don't know exactly what, but they can do something along those lines.
Fed 1 gains rep.
What on Earth does that have to do with Fed 2, KDF 1, or KDF 2?
Do Fed 1 and Fed 2 even know each other? Do Fed 1 and Fed 2 even exist in the same instance of the universe? Why would a Fed raising Rep increase the Rep for a KDF?
They've already mentioned opposing Rep on their whiteboard. A Fed couldn't raise a nonexistent Rep on a KDF and it wouldn't make sense for the Fed to raise the opposing Rep on the KDF.
No doubt it can get tedious. I was trying to do it on the four toons at once. It felt like a factory job. Do this, do that, change toons, do this, do that, change toons...meh. I got burnt out. So none of them have hit T5 on anything. Two are sitting at T2, one got to T4 pretty fast, and another eventually got to T4.
Eventually, they'll all get to T5. Which is a good thing - the eventually thing. It gives me something to do - to work toward. If they were all T5 already...well, then I'd likely be one of the folks sitting around saying there's nothing to do...
We do not know how they going to work it out there. I though would love to see some sort of accountwide reputation, but I am not sure it would be workable.
em. It's not that hard to level up a toon in STO to where any sort of Lagacy system would be of benifit. Now, I would love to see a version of Champions Online's "Nemisis" system. for some sort of special rep system though.
Keep Playing! *grin*

Totally disagree with this view...I'm in the opposite play area...the old reward system was so much better but due to the few crying babies they had to revamp it in favor of an orgy of grinding...as it is now.
I had 8 VAs fully geared with MACO/OMEGA MKXII stuff in less than 3 months. Done only with play weekends/eves since I have a FT job like everyone else here. Now if I was to do that again with the "new grinding rep system" it would take me more than 3 years....call it what you will...lucky...redheaded child...whatever. The fact is that the old system was far better than this grinding fest that we have today and hope those whiners are happy now ginding as it this was a chinese mining camp....yes there's a light at the end of the tunnel..it's called dilithium and shines a lot since you have to pay for it as well if you want to see anything of use.
Disagree as much as you want but in my book and for those who got the MKXII STFs before it was a much better system than the grinding fest
BUt that could have been resolved making the parts purchasable
MkII could have been made to require say 200 Chips , 15 Rares and 1 prototype (or more or less)
Instead of this balls up we have now that punished everyone and has prices that are beyond stupid given how weak/old the items are (given that fleet items are pretty much far superior and cheaper.....(
I like it the way it is now, My tac's have other powers then my sci/engineers and i like it this way, account wide reputation will only work if you could choose a diferend power on your characters.
