I’m assuming a low population horde heavy pve server.
any servers come to mind?
I’m currently in whitemane, but I’m telling you, 600k hp last week got me one rank.
I think that one BR server is looking like a winner.

keep it us US servers so I can still que with US premades
I’m thinking of doing the same thing, but on horde side. The honor grind was always pretty crazy but this is actually a good bit worse than vanilla because of these server populations and the community is much more hardcore in general. Looking at low pop horde side PvP servers. Not very common.
Keep in mind, if you transfer to PvE you can’t transfer back to PvP.
If I was alliance, I would definitely look into Sul’Thraze .
hmm I thought in the notes I had seen that there wasnt any discrimination from pve to pvp and back?
What rank were you last week, and what rank are you now? Also, do you remember how far along in each rank. Earning more than one rank per week becomes increasingly difficult due to losing 20% of your rank points each week.
Remember everything is relative to how many people are participating in the honor system. The more players PvPing, the more players that can fit in to each bracket. Just an example, honorspy showed over 4400 players on alliance. My Horde alt only showed ~1k. They had room for 3 people in bracket 14, whereas the alliance had 13.
Also, it is possible that a server has too few people to support even a single rank 14.
You can transfer to PvE from PvP, but not to PvP from PvE. So if you left Whitemane to a PvE server, and wanted to go back to Whitemane later, you would not be able to.

Make alts on other pvp servers and see how many of them have more horde in IF than alliance. That will be the server you want to go to.
If you’re alliance you want a dead alliance realm. Horde wont impact your ranking nor would I imagine it needing to be a PvE server being that big of a deal anyways. People PvP on a PvE server, they just dont want to worry about being ganked.
IMO I wouldn’t xfer until you get into the upper ranks, at least 7 or 8. Then go there and have a relatively relaxed ranking time because you have three months to do it anyways due to the CD.
OP what makes you think for a single second that you’ll be the only one with a genius idea like this?
Especially if you have to ask for suggestions… then your efforts are already pointless

Yeah obviously . You do realize the way ranking works right? It was the 1st week of Phase 2 ! Thats the week people NO LIFE the game out . Everyone got a ton of honor . Let the people quit when they realize that they wont ever reach the rank they want . Then maybe that 600k will be worth a bit more 
.
I hear Flamelash is pretty good this time of year.

Sul’htraze on Brazil tab is your choice to go. Bring anything you can from your AH to sell here.
Arcanite Reaper is Alliance favored but it’s still pretty low population.
hmm ok thanks
any thoughts on a good US server to go to?
Ol’ Blanchy, or Sul’Thraze, they queue with us
I think you can only move 2 ranks per week.
I was rank 4 and went to rank 5
honor spy shows me at 503 server standing last week.
I’m not sure how accurate honor spy is, or if its showing total alliance number or total whitemane numbers.
Honorspy is only going to show your faction on your server. So you finished 503 last week with 600k honor? Ouch, on Pagle I was able to get 66 in standings with only 440k honor.
One rank per week is pretty standard for all but the top 1%. Rank 4 requires 10k Rank points, and each rank is an additional 5k. Plus you lose 20% of your rank points each week. At a minimum you lost 2k Rank points during the calculation, and would have had to gain at least 7k rank points to move up to rank 5(will vary based on exactly how many RP you had/have). Only the top 10% of players will get more than 7k rank points per week. Only the top 2% will get over 10k rank points per week.
Don’t come to Skeram if you can’t farm over 1M honor a week
