Maybe there will be a new tier above Exalted? .....wait.....please god let no one at Blizz read this!

Well, the obvious answer would be "not the same tabard." Duh!

Obviously, these "championing" tabards would be available much sooner, at friendly or possibly even neutral.

I frankly don't understand the hostility to this one. It's making use of a game item that to date has been purely decorative. And furthermore, if you hate championing tabards so much, there's a simple answer: DON'T WEAR THEM.

No mean to be "hostile", just asking something that's not "so" obvious. 2 tabards? It sounds odd, to me. Much better lowering the tabard requirement from Exalted to (let's say) honored.

Low end PVP Tabard: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15197

High end PVP Tabard: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15199

Having low and high end tabards isn't a new thing, it just isn't the usual thing.

You guys do realize that the exact nature of the item has not been decided, and that the use of the tabard was an example, either given by the devs or Alex himself?

And you do also realize that this is to be implemented for Wrath, and will most likely be left out of the BC dungeons? That Alex used the BC reps as examples since those are more tangible than the Wrath factions are? So, if it was a tabard, it would just more likely be that tabards would be available at honored/revered for the Wrath factions?

I don't mean to be hostile, it's just... well.. read what is stated...
