Slow news day, so I'll link and quote a few things from the Blizz site that support my previous argument "You are not supposed to be able to grind honor the same way you grind XP"

Quote: It (was) decided to implement a ranking system [in World of Warcraft] that is similar to the Warcraft III ladders on Battle.net
Quote: It ensures that the honor system rewards are very meaningful without running the risk of the PvP rewards drastically devaluing PvE loot (i.e. if it took less total playtime to get the PvP rewards in comparison to the player-vs-environment (PvE loot).
Quote: Finally, one of the major benefits is that a ladder system helps ensure that over time, the game world does not become inflated with "Generals" and "Warlords".
