Currently TipTac is "flattening" all reactions >= 5 to 5 (Friendly).

Non-rep-faction NPCs don't have anything higher than 5, but NPCs that belong to a rep faction can have 5 (Friendly), 6 (Honored), 7 (Revered) or 8 (Exalted) towards the player.

Why would I want to see this information?

First, it is a potentially useful bit of information, and as such it should not be hidden. Displaying the true reaction does not occupy significantly more tooltip space, and also does not waste CPU cycles.

Second, seeing the true reaction at a glance is especially useful when I have to repair my gear: Exalted repair NPCs give significantly more discount than Friendly ones.

Sure, the faction is displayed in the tooltip, and therefore the absence of a faction in the tooltip tells me that I should not repair my gear with that guy (e.g. Scraptooth, the greedy repair Dredger in Sinfall is factionless… ;)

If the NPC belongs to a faction and I know my standing with that faction by heart, then no problem either. But if I don't, I first have to look up my standing with the faction, and only then I can decide if I should repair there. (For example, see all the new factions while leveling in the Dragon Isles, or factions in older zones: Do you know all the standings of your current char by heart?)

The time required for this small improvement should be small: Just the true reaction string would be enough, I don't really care about the coloring of the string. That is, I do not ask you to modify the color table in the options; green for everything greater or equal 5 would be completely OK.

Thanks for considering,

BTW, found a pretty well made addon yesterday, that addresses exactly my issue:

But I think my suggestion would still be a good addition.

Sounds good to me. I try to include it into the next release. 👍

I added the unit reaction for honored, revered and exalted NPCs. It's included in release v23.01.23.

Yes, way better now with the correct standing information. Thank you very much.

Though 23.01.23 comes with many issues for me.
