Actually, I think it does set you back to square one, or something like that. I'm sure I've seen legendary members demoted to normal members after suffering a ban...
I used to be a Heroic member, but I think I got banned for a day or something, or otherwise had my rank reset. It may have just been reset because my rank was glitched, though; I did go from heroic to legendary quite quickly, too. As in, about a week, for no reason. It is kind of annoying that I don't know why, though.
Also, in terms of titles on B.net, the only difference we have at the moment is a trust rating calculated by a computer. So, you're right. Maybe there isn't really that much difference. Except, a legendary member might have a daily post count of 10 a day, combined with a zero ban history. A new member might be just as trustworthy, but they'll still be just a member, because the system doesn't have the data to justify a higher rank.
I mean, you can't have the system here check out another site, and go, "Oh, they've got a good background. It's okay Bruce, they're cool, they're on the list." The system needs you to have beenn here for a little while, so it can check your activity against your ban history, and probably a number of other unknown factors. I can't pretend to know how the system works, but I hope I'm at least somewhat right, here.
Also, if a noble knight was an hero, then their title would be printed on their tombstone.
