Rank 11 PVP title from vanilla.
Mainly because of the Epic mounts it offered, without you having to pay 1200 gold to be able to use them.
Thatβs why I never cared to get the white wolf mount that came with Exalted reputation in AV.
You still had to pay for the epic training mount.
The Guild I was in, (this one) had by now lost 2-3 GMβs. Meanwhile I had achieved nothing. Only lost time as a officer trying to help other players that meanwhile had left for better guilds.
My RL friend who I started playing the game had achieved rank 10 together with another RL friend he had.
They were on a premade that fell apart once the leader got Rank 14.
I had to PUG, as I had nothing else.
By this time we already had Cross realm BGs. But we also had 10 to 15 man premades and most people playing Alliance were decked in T2.
Some players had T3 pieces, I found a Alliance premade in wich the NE Protection Warrior was in full T3 Naxrammas set.
Needless to say it was a never ending cascade of defeats, between WSG and AB.
I avoided AV as it was a never-ending battle usually.
Victories being that drop of water on the desert.
Best chance to win was always against Alliance PUGs.
Which was also rare to find.
I remember we losing to a Alliance PUG in WSG and one of our players saying:
βGood job you lost the easy game.β
Other player:
βYou call this easy ??β 
Had to take 7 days off just to get the last rank.
I remember my sister coming at home at night and when we start talking my jaw started to hurt. I realized I had sit still in front of the PC the whole day.
Meanwhile my ranged weapon sucked.
I was doing ZG with another Guild but the Epic bow didnβt dropped.
Luckily Blizzard decided to open the PVP armory to everyone without rank restrictions, because TBC was coming.
So I went again, this time to get the High Warlord Bow.
Which I also got.
I still hold the PVP set, the PVP bow and the four epic mounts PVP mounts till this day.
Cheers.
