Basically, the honor system works like this (note that standing and rank are different things, as are rating points and honor points):

At the end of everyweek each faction is given a certain amount of rating points based on how much that faction has PvPed that week. These points are then divided amongst the players based on each player's standing for the week. Your standing is determined by how many honor points you got in that week relative to everyone else in your faction. Rating points and rank are, by and large, like experience points and levels: once you get a certain amount of rating points, you will gain a new rank.

The rating point/rank table looks pretty much like this:
RP
60k - rank 14
55k - rank 13
50k - rank 12
45k - rank 11
40k - rank 10
35k - rank 9
30k - rank 8
25k - rank 7
20k - rank 6
15k - rank 5
10k - rank 4
05k - rank 3
2.5k- rank 2
00k - rank 1*
*Rank 1 (Private for Alliance and scout for horde) doesn't have a rating point requirement. All you need to do to get rank one is get 25 for more honorable kills in one week.

That's pretty much it. There are a couple of other things, like rating point decay and diminishing returns on kills, but that's the basics. If you're really curious about it, some cleaver duck worked out how it all works. I posted a link to it here: http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index...topic=6966 if you're really curious.

But the main reason you're going to hit a rank wall farming the lower level BGs is simple. You get less honor - a LOT less - at low levels than you do at higher levels. :)

One other thing. Because WSG is a pretty rare beast at higher levels, it's worth your while saving a bunch of tokens when you decide to leave the lower level bracket behind. Why? Because of the "For Great Honor" quest. :D It gives MUCH better reputation than the regular hand in quests, but you need 3 tokens from each battleground to complete it. :D

Hope that helps.
