If you ever ask a Vanilla WoW player what was the hardest, the most
painful, and unrewarding grind, you will have one answer - a run for
High Warlord and Grand Marshal. If there was an in-game definition of
grind, it would be definitely the struggle for the highest faction rank.
Every player would rather go collect Splinters of Atiesh in Naxxramas,
than go for the rank 14.To get more news about

Long
story short, it is the title given to the best of the best players in
both World of Warcraft factions in PvP. In practice, the number
oscillated around 0,1 %.
Just after the original release of World of
Warcraft, the PvP segment was not finished, thus it was not organized at
all. The only reason to go and kill people was… to kill people. And
yes, there were more than enough volunteers willing to clap another
faction players (isn’t it the meaning of the whole war in
Azeroth?).Later on, with patch 1.4 and the release of content Phase 2,
the Honor System was introduced. How did it work?
It was arguably
the most broken, unfair, punishing, and hated World of Warcraft feature
of all time. Throughout the given week a player could register Honorable
Kills by slaying the opposing faction players. HK’s were then converted
to Honor Contribution Points. Each week during the reset player’s CP’s
were then recalculated into Ranking Points. Each week every player was
losing 20% of RP’s accumulated. This means, that if you had 50,000
Ranking Points by the end of the week, you’d lose 10,000. However, by
the time of weekly maintenance, top players, who farmed the most Honor
in each bracket, were awarded with RP’s. The main condition was to play
more, than others. It’s really hard to measure how much your rivals
play, so you had to push it to the limit. And if you fumbled, you could
have said: “Farewell” to the progress.
There wasn’t any simple or
built-in ways that would provide players with the information about the
placement in your current bracket, but this day there should be more
than enough add-ons serving this purpose. You can see the Classic WoW
honor settings tab down below:
