In Cataclysm, we plan to make the old PvP titles available based on your performance in our upcoming rated Battleground system, similar to the current Arena titles which are based on your performance in the Arenas. Keep in mind, however, that Cataclysm is still relatively early in the development stages and this information is subject to change. We'll have more on the rated Battleground system and associated rewards in the months ahead.
I'm going to clarify my original post, as I don't believe it's been decided yet whether they'll be purchased with Arena points or Honor points, or if a specific Battleground rating is the only requirement to unlock them. There are no plans to make these titles available for real-world money.
We feel they're going to fit well with the new rated Battleground system. The titles were previously earned through a very cumbersome experience that didn't necessarily measure a player's PvP skill. With a new system for measuring performance in the Battlegrounds, we feel it's a good fit to award the honor titles to those who excel. We do not intend for the top titles to be earned in a trivial manner. It's going to be quite hard to get High Warlord or Grand Marshal; and not because it's going to require that someone plays in the Battlegrounds more than everyone else on their realm each week, but because it's going to require a very impressive win/loss ratio.
He brings up some good points, however, it wouldn't be too hard to just come up with new titles for the rated battlegrounds.
I think those who have been active in PvP since vanilla deserve to keep that mark of honor, if you will.

The people who earned those titles didn't necessarily "earn" them. I know the first High Warlord on my server earned his title afking in bgs. the endless grind to get them was earning them (just as it is earning 90% of the other titles out there). Yea even back in the day there were farm bots and chronic afkers who beat the system, but there are people like that with any end game achievement that's worth the work for, and they are far from common.
So yea, they should bring them back and make people actually earn these titles. Why not just have separate titles

I have always thought that getting rid of PvP titles (they later added Arena titles) was one of the biggest mistakes that Blizzard ever made, even though I agreed with them discarding the old rank system.

These are the actual titles used by each sides respective military, you cant really replace them.
there are plenty of unused military titles in that sense that would still work. Plus, there are only 3 ranks of arena titles. It doesn't seem feasible to have 14 for ranked BGs.

On Topic: I'll have to agree that they should create new titles , so the people who put so much effort in gaining those back in vanilla have something exclusive.
And i would like many ranks, like 20 or something like that, more variety =P.
