Yes, you do. That does not mean everyone does.
Yes after they removed the honor systems and added the title’s drop down you got to pick your title and it included you highest pvp rank title. That wasn’t in vanilla.

Vanilla player here… confirming that there was no title selection thingy. That was added later.
Keep grinding to keep your title rofl!

I don’t think this is a thing either. You can still wear the gear that you’ve purchased from a higher rank, but I’m pretty sure you can’t buy gear that you no longer have the rank required to purchase.
No there wasn’t that wasn’t until TBC
Because it wasn’t in vanilla.

I don’t know why.
Not like it’s uncommon at all.
For various reasons, there are a lot of companies that no longer have source to old versions of software.
There is no more convenience or inconvenience in compiling WoW 1.01 1.05 or 1.12, if you have all 3 intact.
More convenient if you do not have everything intact, oh yes, definitely

For the gear.
Patch 1.6.1 Changes (2005-08-02) BWL
- Honor system reward items with a rank requirement will now require a lifetime “highest rank” of that rank, rather than requiring the character to currently have the required rank.
Patch 1.7 Changes (2005-09-22) ZG
Players may no longer purchase items that require a PvP rank unless they meet the rank requirement at the time of purchase.
still looking through all the patch notes for the title change.

Re: How were old PvP titles obtained?** 12/01/2009 08:02:22 PM PST
There were only a certain number of characters on each faction that could hold each rank. The higher up you got, the less people could hold those ranks. Each week during maintenance the calculations were done and the ranks were updated. Rank 14 (Grand Marshal/High Warlord) was the top rank and would only be given to one or two characters per faction per week.
The person going for the top spot had to climb through each rank, one week at a time, earning proportionately more honor than those below his/her rank. This was also at a time when cross-realm Battlegrounds were not yet available, so it was a major time investment, often required coordination with others on the realm to run specific Battlegrounds at specific times, and sometimes even required cooperation amongst those gunning for rank 14.
Achieving a rank would give players the title while they possessed the rank (for Grand Marshal/High Warlord this was almost always for only a week at a time) and allowed players to purchase the best PvP gear in the game. There were two sets of gear plus some other items that could be purchased. Each set of gear was split in half over two different ranks. So you could buy half of the superior PvP set at rank 8, I believe, and the rest at rank 10. The epic set, I believe, was split between ranks 12 and 13.
When we did away with that Honor system at the beginning of The Burning Crusade , we allowed players to wear the highest title they had achieved over their head. That is how the titles currently exist today.
