The Return of PVP Titles

Apparently, they're bringing back PVP titles--and not new titles, but the old ones, Grand Marshal and High Warlord and all that.
Personally, I'm glad they're doing this. Now I don't just have to be stuck with a rank on one old character that I never play anymore; now I can get a rank on my newer characters too. But, I imagine a lot of *coughverypettycough* people are going to be irritated by this.

Thoughts?

Kind of crap for people who earnt good titles back in Vanilla. They should introduce new titles.
Re-using the old ones seems like yet another excuse for being lazy.
or if you want to be grand marshall you should in vanilla grind pvp 24/7 for some months, so it was very "exciting" to casual players, i always wanted some higher title, but now i can, so i think this is good step from blizz

No Haxzor. It was comparing/checking every week and was granting you some "rating". If you had enuf "rating" it was giving a title. You were limited to the amount of "rating" you could get per week and it was also comparing vs other players. So you actually had to grind for minimum 1 month to achieve rank 14.

From mmo-champion:
"New PvP titles will be added, as your rating progress you will unlock higher titles. If you earned a PvP title you will keep it"
They're new titles, not the old ones.From both of those sources I just posted up there (did you even bother to read them? I put the links there for a reason):
All of the "OLD" Honor titles are returning like Grand Marshal.
Old PvP rankings will make their reappearance as end-of-season titles (e.g., "Scout," "Commander," "Centurion").
They're the old titles, not new ones.

but i still think, that only few and by few i mean max. 2% of population will get highest title, but maybe blizz wants to some casual player to achieve it, so it will be possible quite easy to get it, but i dont want this, you want to be best in pvp, you must earn it by hard work

It's great that casuals will get a chance at an old-school title, but that doesn't change the fact that the titles people grinded for in Vanilla now lose most of their meaning.
If it's as easy to attain and as common as the Gladiator title, then I'd be very happy if they chose to drop this idea.
It doesn't lose the meaning if YOU know how you got it.
"lolyay i got the high warlord title after 5 minutes" "gg scrub grind out a months worth then come and talk"
It's all still elitism IMO.

I could afk in AV and get a bunch of honor, it doesn't mean I'm any good and it isn't "hard work". Really, if you make it too hard, all you will do is get a ton of people afking.
Would you prefer that?

So how is this gonna work they dont reduce your honor every week as they did in vanillaIt appears to be tied to rating (as in, the new rated battleground system they're working on). Since honor is now a currency it won't be based off of that, but they haven't released any precise details on how the rating system will work.
