The state of HA is that it is in a deep coma.

The reasons, in my honest opinion are because of the changes to HoH (capping phailed in AB why would it work here?), and the favor change, which was one of the ways new players came to HA. When all i did was pve i was like wtf boyz in da hood lost favor!!!! Europe!!! oh noes!!! So as someone who wanted my fow helmet I went to HA to take back favor. I only gained 6 fame that night running an oldskool vim (2 BO wars 6 trappers), but i gained a new addiction. I never got the FoW helmet, but i got a wolf and multiple HoH wins with my guild [tls] (later [RiCE]) . Those were the glory days when HoH wins mattered for pve and pvers would send you thank yous for taking the favor. The glory days where with 8 seconds left you kill a ghostly hero and cap the altar ftw. If we could bring back these days HA would have 4-5 ID's again.

Also complaining on a forum really doesn't solve much. I am sending an e-mail to Anet right after I am done writing this, and hopefully if we can get 90-100 emails into Anet's community service they will have to listen. The only way i can see Anet really adressing the HA problem, is showing that it still is alive, and that it can be even more healthy if they make a few changes.

I honestly hope this is a joke. People QQ on this forum every single day about how relics are stupid because you sit and wait for 7 minutes then do everything in the last minute. So why on earth would you ever want 7:55 of sitting back in your base hiding, then run up and spike out the enemy ghost and hope to cap? If they brought that back, no one would bother buying GW2.

old ha IE tombs was litteraly an afk battle. 8 min matches, afk for 1 min. rush all dmg on ghosts. hope to kd or interupt, and cap at last 15 secs, and spam heals on him to win.

how is that better then what we have now? atleast now a super hold build dosnt have the best chance to hold as it did before. cap pts hoh is a great imporvement. relic runs is a joke just because relic running in general is a joke.

but no, if you think old HA is better then what we have now, peace out cubscout

Now that I think about of it you are most likely right, the reason the old HoH matches were so fun was because of the amount of people who played and diversity of builds. The glory days were gloriful, because of the people that made it gloriful not because of the HoH type (even though cap points does sound better than the crap we got now).
