It seems really unintuitive. You need an addon just to understand anything. I went to 97% thru Rank 12 and it is now telling me I need to grind over 300k honor just to get that last 3% which seems weird af, but people are telling me that’s just how it is.
My suggestion would be to have a system like TBC where you just get honor to buy gear.
The whole “I’m a Warlord!” rank bragging rights means absolutely nothing when 99% of your battleground is Rank 13. It’s not like it used to be when you see Rank 13-14. So I don’t see anything wrong with making the system intuitive like a currency to simply buy what you want.
