Good idea. I would greatly appreciate this too.

Guild Renown shows up if you are within a few levels of the quest's lowest base level. This means that if you play most quests that have a Heroic and Epic/Legendary form on their Epic/Legendary form, you are far exceeding the quests Heroic base level, which causes the guild renown to not show. If you play quests that have only Legendary forms (Illithid Invasion, Legendary Raids, etc), the guild renown will show up in the end reward list.

I reported this a while ago already. The pattern is completely consistent: if a quest exists in two versions – a low-level one and an epic or legendary one – then the epic/legendary version never gives any guild renown, while the low-level version has a chance for guild renown. Quests that exist only as an epic or legendary version, on the other hand, can give guild renown just fine.
So it clearly depends on whether the quest has a window where you can choose between a heroic and a legendary version: in that case, the quest giver can give guild renown when you do the heroic version with a character in a certain level range – while if you select the epic/legendary version, you never get guild renown. My earlier report unfortunately didn't change anything.
My suspicion is that these quests only grant guild renown within a single narrow level range, and that this check was set up for the heroic version. When you run the epic/legendary version, your character is always far above that range, so the check never triggers – and you get no renown. That would explain why it happens consistently and only with quests that have both versions.

I'd love an option at the bottom "No thanks" and complete it w/o taking any reward lol. But yeah renown is almost the same (we just hit 200 recently).
Hmm, I wonder if what @Terranigma and @Chacka mention is as intended or it is a bug.
Ok general, we can see that rewards in some cases are not properly function, perhaps a small overhaul of the rewards should occur.
Anyhow, upvoted and I'm a strong supported of providing guild renown to all reward!
The reasoning is simple, you forfeit the reward for some fame! So level etc, shouldn't play a role but it could be a really small renown reward.
Cheers

I just did some further investigation, and the result is: if you do the Vecna Unleashed quests (base level 18) in the legendary version but with a level 20 character, you actually do get guild renown in your quest reward. That confirms my suspicion quite reliably: quests that exist in two versions – one low-level and one high-level – have a narrow level range for granting guild renown, based on the low-level version of the quest. That's why they don't give any renown if you run them with a high-level character.
So this strange behaviour isn't really about the version at all – it's that the renown check still uses the heroic level range even when you run the legendary version. Which also explains why quests that only exist as legendary work fine: their check was set up for their actual level range.
And I also discovered a special case: the base level 16 quests in Wheloon and possible base level 19 Stormhorns quests work similar– but I haven't fully worked out yet how exactly it behaves regarding guild renown.
