no u dont as far as i know.And from what i saw in Warburg u get penalised if u constantly attack withing a time limit the same low level toon.
Oooooooh.. I just WONDER how you found THAT little nugget out TG!

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
i found out in beta actually when while in bloody bay prof killed repeated times a few lower level toons thus getting a small reputation loss and the title ganker (without him knowing of course that the toon was lower level cause when u pvp u not usually bring up info panel).But also i noticed in Warburg that at some point during a fight i noticed in my log a loss of reputation from one of the attackers..after looking the level i only then noticed he was of entry level to warburg.
And have you or any of your team earned the title of ganker yet? Man... you gotta love the devs sense of humour for that one... 
Show the world your shame!!!

no we havent cause we not take excessive abuse on low level toons we tend to abuse all toons within proximity so less chance of earning that title
That makes NO sense! There should be no penalty for killing anyone higher or lower level, because otherwise whats the point in having the exemplars/sidekicks? In the heat of battle, as TG said, you don't stop to check what level they are with the info panel!
If they are going to reduce your rating for something, it should be repeatedly killing someone. Maybe something like if you kill someone twice in a row, you get a reduced bonus, three times in a row you get nothing, and after four or five times you start to lose reputation for it.
actually this is how it works...
A low reputation kill gives u 1.00 reputation for first kill
second kill depending on level of toon goes to 0.75-0.50
third kill goes to 0.25-0.15
and form then on no reputation for a given time
Higher reputation characters give a lot of reputation as bonus for kills
For instance i give around 5 and i think some bounty as well....
The ganker title comes only if the level difference is too wide and u multi gank in a too short period of time
"mez nerf"? I must have missed this, please elaborate.
I don't understand how they expect you to know if someone is a lower level. Everyone in the zone is exemped/sidekicked to the same level - so you'd actually have to right click and go to info...and in the middle of a team battle that ain't exactly an option...

now here i agree...a colour grading for the levels would be nice in the shades of red lets say bright red for same to -5 levels to u etc....
is there still a bug that resets your reputation, as im still at 0, i was higher than that.
or is reputation only valid for each login ?
not to me at least i zoned a lot still no rep loss
must be a bug then, as i just checked now, def had a positive value, after zoning its back at 0
ok this bug is really getting annoying happened to me as well today and thats the 4th!!!! time i loose 150 points..i have lost 3 times 150 and a nother 235 points thats a lot..and a simple fix would be easy.
I got 1 for first kill. Killed same hero shortly after and got 0. And no I wasnt greifing the hero. They were a group of 8 attacking the villain base. I was just a lone stalker did kill quite a few of them.
is not possible after getting one to get 0 there is a certain decrease after each kill to amount of rep u get..unless u killed him too fast
It does says shortly after. Yes but what is the minimum time you need to wait between kills.
I've had my pvp rep zero'd loads of times. I've given up hoping to keep any. What do you get from it anyway?
Bragging rights?
Okay, basic principle of reputation is: it goes up for defeating equal or higher toons, it goes down for defeating lower level toons.
Now, I don't do PvP, but I am going to be messing about in Warburg because it's the only place I can get instanced missions anymore.
Add to this that the mez nerf has made me even more vulnerable to Controllers than before, and I now have two choices:
1. If a Controller attacks me, I leg it, dropping a BF if required.
2. If a Controller attacks me, I attempt to turn him into mince meat, ASAP, dropping a BF if required.
I don't really care much about PvP Reputation, but I do believe it has some affect on play.
So, the question:
If I'm attacked by a lower level toon and then I defeat that toon, does that reduce my reputation? He started it, he wanted it, I didn't want to attack him, do I get penalised for putting him out of my misery?
