tldr: No, you need to grind the rep for it or hope that someone puts one up on the market.

Is there an alt guild on Warbringer or can you have more than one character in Goon Squad?
Yeah there's an alt guild, for now use "/chjoin lljk" in game and pester me or someone else who's on. If you haven't joined any other custom channels it will go in as the /1 channel. Or just hang out there because it's a channel for everyone between the two guilds and there's not much going on in alt guild land anyway. We don't have room for alts in the main guild and doublestep is looking at purging inactives just to get everyone's main in there.

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
Does anyone know why the PVP Scoreboards are just completely inaccurate? Like I've double-checked a few games now and counted specifically my deaths to make sure, and in many cases it is doubling and tripling the listing of "deaths" that I have on the scoreboard. Other games I play full damage or full healing and at the end of the game it records that I have done near-zero amounts of either even though I've been constantly outputting one or the other. Has Carbine commented on this at all? I don't trust a single piece of information listed on the end-game scores.

I know for a fact that some of the stats carry over from previous games (even some of the previous games' players). It's all kinds of hosed up.

I read that the death counter doubles up. I assume the entire thing is busted except my dmg because I'm awesome.

Yep it does. Game is fun as hell, and unlike some of the other MMO's that came out this past year, it gets better as you level, not worse.

It's definitely taking a lot of cues from WoW but I think it justifies itself with the combat, the housing, and (arguably) the tone. I haven't played much FFXIV, though.

Our zone assembled a ragtag group of level 18-19 heroes to fight some Bug King (seriously like 38 people), but we could never get him to lower than 98% hp before he reset his HP. Kinda annoying! But I know things like that will get fixed. It's a new MMO launch after all.

Yeah, thanks to its unique combat and the quality of some of the other systems like housing, on top of the more ~hardcore~ approach to group content (whether you agree or disagree with this, the fact remains that it fills a niche that other games aren't necessarily doing), it sets itself apart enough from WoW and FF14 to stand on its own. If they can keep up with a reasonable pace of content updates I think it will be around for quite awhile.

(one of the better Esper AMPs gives you a damage buff after dashing)

One of the better amps: a 4% damage buff for 5 seconds after you dash. Less damage than you'd get by simply not dashing at all and casting an extra tk strike instead.

That's actually an amp no one should ever take, there's more than enough amps that increase damage without being so conditional that you don't need to resort to it.

What? You're going to be dashing constantly. Have you not done any group content?

There are certainly better amps for damage (like all of 2nd tier assault) but... you take those as well. It's a far cry from an AMP "no one should ever take". I mean look at some of the other trees.

edit: Not to mention you need it and one other AMP to get B-I-N-G-O, and the only other amp that's anywhere near worth a poo poo in that tier is like maybe No Pain No Gain. It's obviously going to be something you'll wait until you have Elder Gem AMP points to get since you want the assault tree poo poo first, but that doesn't make it a bad AMP.

Warriors seem like straight-up worse tanks than either Stalkers or Engineers, though I don't know how they work out endgame in raiding and such.

However, it's very likely that their threat issues will get worked out before anyone gets to the point of serious raiding, so you should probably play one if you think they're fun.
