Why? This thread is disinformation. The OP has edited it numerous times in response to me disproving his claims in other threads. He settled on claiming that original Vanilla ranks affected honor gain from kills during season 1. His original claim was this:
Ranks never affected honor per kill in TBC, as the honor was normalized in the pre-patch. Ranks may have affected honor for a small number of players in the original TBC pre-patch but it was either a bug or display issue:
Honor per kill for all of TBC in level 70 vs 70 combat was 20.9 split evenly among nearby party/raid members or players who participated in the kill:
The only time a player would receive more than 20.9 honor from a kill was when a lower level killed a higher level. Rank never had anything to do with it. Here’s a vidcap of a level 65 killing a level 70 and getting 25 honor:
This thread is a good example of how easy it is to propagate misinformation to a large number of players. More vidcaps of all different ranks in solo situations awarding 20.9 honor:
