Ooops Steamwheedle before Bloodsail ?

I've been grinding Southsea pirates having exhausted (I think - got Loremaster and using quest completist) all quests giving Steamwheedle rep, as I was focussed on getting The Exalted.
BUT...I have now realised that it seems the correct order is to do Bloodsail first and *then* Booty Bay/Steamwheedle. Is this right ? I'm currently Revered with all Steamwheedle and 16k/21k Revered with Booty Bay....knocking Booty back to hated and rebuilding without any quests to boost will be extremely long and painful....please tell me I have misunderstood...

You haven't misunderstood i'm sorry to say. I recently did the Bloodsail grind with my worgen rogue, and made sure i didn't do any of the Steamwheedle quests on the way to 85. I made a short video guide in the process

Although you've done the majority of Steamwheedle quests it is still possible, but will take a really long time to grind out. If you are going for the insane achievement, it would be interesting to find out if you could get to exalted with Steamwheedle first and then do Bloodsail and it still count.
So in short, doing Steamwheedle first is a bad idea if you want the Bloodsail Admiral title too.

I thought they changed The Insane to not matter which was done first--I remember that change being implemented right after I grind it out the old way =P

Correct. The only reason people prefer Bloodsail and then goblins is because you come into goblin towns often and never in Bloodsail towns, so it's easier to finish with all goblin factions on high standing

I believe that is the case...my issue is that I've just spent ages grinding (at 3rep/mob) to get Steamwheedle to Exalted.....and from what I understand now I need to knock at least Booty Bay back to Hated (which would be quite a trek back to Exalted again...especially as I have done all the Steamwheedle quests)

i didthe bloodsail title grind on my dk a while back. after i got it, i did the cloth turn ins for goblin rep. having never quested for the goblins, i was able to get to honored with bb, and ratchet, and friendly with everlook and gadget. i still have all the quests to do should io decide to go for the insane. a small head start if you will.

Just to rub salt into the wound....I cannot currently attack Booty Bay NPCs. At 999/1000 Exalted I set the At War flag and get 'Invalid target'. I can aggro the NPCs into attacking me with Shadowflame or Hellfire....but cannot return fire. Raised the issue to a GM who told me it was a known bug.
GM was unable to advise when it was likely to be fixed....maybe a last minute addition to 4.1, but no real clue :-(
