Q: How were the rewards for each ranking decided on?
A: We've provided a list of some of the rewards available for the Honor System - check out the accompanying sidebar to the right of the second paragraph. As to the rational for choosing them, we knew we wanted a few tiers of armor sets, a single set of weapons, and many other miscellaneous rewards, so we looked at each rank, and what percentage of players would be likely to "peak" at that rank, and decided which rewards would fall into what rank based on that.
The primary goal was to ensure that a player would have something cool to look forward to at each rank, regardless of whether the reward was primarily visual (i.e. a tabard) or functional. The items that were both highly visual and highly functional were generally reserved for the upper half of ranks.
