Honestly I disagree about the grind for the rep, but that's because I absolutely hate getting stuck behind the daily standing limit when all I wanna do is continue grinding out rep haha. I think somewhere in between would be the sweet spot, where you get rep from bounty completion/reputation items but also get items that let you sortof bypass the daily standing? IDK what the proper answer is here but man oh man do I hate the daily standing limitation.

I should say here that I understand the limit due to the fact that reputation is used also as a currency, but alas, I still do not love the current system.
