World of Warcraft PvP Ranking System Detailed

The official World of Warcraft site has details on the Player vs. Player ranking system which they'll be rolling out to the game. It gives meaning to the PvP concept with tangible, and impressive, rewards for engaging in combat with other players, a leader board, and little things like an officer's title. From the article: "As we have mentioned before, when you kill other players or aggressive PvP-enabled non-player characters (NPCs) in your level range, you will receive an honorable kill. All your honorable kills for a week are then calculated to give you an honor score for that week, which then translates into an honor ranking. This honor ranking carries with it titles and material rewards, and eventually, officer status and other perks."

I hear you man. WoW is the first MMORPG I've really gotten into, and all the stories I've heard of griefing and generally idiotic behaviour in these sorts of games seems to be pretty much unfounded. Granted I do play RP PvE.
But... good God, the forums! I have never seen such a convergence of illiterates and whiners and intellectual sub-normals in my whole life! Are all MMORPGs forums like this? Anybody trying to decide whether to join the game based solely on the forums would surely be put off.

"omfg blizzard why u not nerf shamans my pally gets pwned in 1v1! omfg i am cancelling my account! this game sux! /bump this! need blue response!"

It makes me feel stupider just reading them.
