Pretty much the title. You guys think that you can make a reputation for yourself as well as you could back in the days? Or will the "layering" ruin it? Or will the servers be too big and players will be easily replaced?
Thoughts?
Yes yes yes. The sole fact that you are not running across different servers will ensure this. There will be layering, but only in the first phase, and voices of other people deeds will still reach your ears. I'm ready to see the Trustable Crafters list for every server :-) And also a good ninja-looter list will be surely done. I can't wait for the community!
well, layering is going away within the first month or two. but, yeah, i think its possible. i mean, just what kind of reputation are you after? on the large scale, i doubt anyone will ever be as famous as, say, the guild leader from the infamous Onyxia wipe animation. but people will generally recognize the best guilds on their server.
on the small scale, being nice and good at your class will always net you new friends after a successful dungeon run. more importantly, being an asshole will definitely see your name spread around. especially anything business related. screw someone over, or steal their crafting mats, no one will open a trade window with you again. ninja loot something from a guild raid and you'll probably get gkicked out of every subsequent guild you join after they figure out about it.
Layering is until P2 and I think Blizzard will not end P1 in about one month, layering wills stay 3-4 atleast.

I can't find any definitive quote that says [Layering End] = [End of Phase 1]. All I can find are people asking whether it's that or if [Layering End] >= [End of Phase 1]. I would really like to know personally, but it seems like no one else knows for sure either, not even Blizzard.

If you keep a low profile it's entirely possible for people to not know much about you except which guild you used to be in.
With Discord / Reddit being a thing these days, it will be very easy to ruin your reputation once layering ends.

Very true!
I don't think it will ever be as powerful as it was, but I think it will definitely matter a whole lot more than it has in many years.
Be careful about ninja lists guys - especially ones which don't require submissions to have evidence attached. Very easy to abuse systems like this.
I think it will be way easier to ruin someones reputation since we are all on discord/Reddit/ Other social forums/platforms but significantly harder to build a good reputation up because of the way the majority of people are today.
I suggest screenshoting every unsual situation, especially when someone in your party do ninja loot. Could be useful later, hopefully not. :)
in regards to the layering question, i cant remember where i saw it, so i dont have any proof...and dont feel like rewatching every blizz video/interview just to find it...but i'd swear on my life one of the blizzard staff specifically stated "layer will only last for about one month. a MAXIMUM of two."

Ion said in an interview the day after Beta that layering would last for the entirety of Phase 1, then be gone when Phase 2 comes out.
