The problem with Halaa is that the rewards are for about lvl 66 to lvl 69. Which while you are leveling your not interested in. They need to make a pvp zone with lvl 80 rewards so its worth battleing for.

Even if they had Season 1 gear at Halaa people would fight there. I hope the rewards make people want to bother with the zone.

I never found anything fun about Halaa. And nowadays it's rare to see groups of each faction actually fighting over it. I'm pretty much over all the PVP objectives that involve sitting on something and waiting for the "capture" bar to swing your way. Like the towers in the Bone Wastes -- why would I want to do that more than once a week, at most? A quest for 200 honor? Meh. I know Wintergrasp will be much more involved, but I hope it also has some different mechanics, like destroying structures rather than very slowly capturing them.

Generally I'm more of a PvE player as I find that PvP seems to be somewhat overpopulated by people with prodigious egos desperately trying to prove how big their dicks are. As an idea I thought Halaa was quite good, but for the reasons already mentioned it just didn't work in practice. I will probably give Wintergrasp a go, but I suspect it will become an area that I give a wide berth.
