Why does reputation with PvE factions on a PvP server build up lightning‑fast, while reputation with PvP factions doesn’t even reach “Revered” after rank 10? The items that can be obtained at “exalted” are no better than what is currently available in raids. There are no rewards for raising rank. PvP sets have terrible PvP armor bonuses that are equal to the armor on PvE sets. Each piece in a slot can be obtained from a single source. For honor points, there are terrible trinkets and a neck (for casters). All of this is in a single instance, and there is no choice.
Suggestion: do at least something for PvP that doesn’t look like the turtlewow-style.

Well, because this is vanilla wow and just how it is? sure there are lots of changes made to this server, but this doesn't really seem like an important addition. Go raid to get better gear, it's how it's always been done on vanilla servers.

Indeed they did. That was a neat reward for 0,0001% of the playerbase.

There's a reason their PvP server was peaking at only a few thousand.
