Question is: how many times have you had the chance to win halls when you were unranked?
As for me, I just got my rank 3 yesterday, and won halls 3 times as an unranked player. Got 1 sigil on those wins. First time was IWAY with a R3+ pug that a guildie got me in, 2nd and 3rd time (we held halls) was with a bunch of guildies and friends from other guilds with a Balanced build.
What about you?

ThunderStruck
I have 32 fame, have been to the halls 3 times, but have yet to win 
artay
all the time, but the funny thing is that this guy in my group got his first fame from hoh, thats right, we got hall skipped in his first time to HA. (btw i have 92 fame)

Was rank 2, got into a r6+ pug and held for 2 times.
Arkantos
my iway pug held halls twice before.

I was fortunate enough to get r3 in one day with my friends. I don't remember though how many times we happened to won since it's been a while when that happened, but I'm guessing around 2-3 times before reaching to r3.

Still Rank 0 (about 15 Fame) and won Hall once with a fun-group consisting of 4 Wammos and 4-Man support-team

Only once, tho that was a very good night. The AnSy HA team needed a blessed light monk and I took the part, we got to HoH quick (skipped a lot of maps) and lost there. We went in again and reached HoH again, won Halls and i got rank 1, won Halls again (tho now i was ranked) and I got a gold and a celestrial sigil, we were beaten after that. I joined again two days later, we again held halls and I reached rank 2.
So very good night for me, played HA on 4 seperate occasions, got a whooping 4 fame from the first 2 night and something like 110 in the next two

I never won until I was rank 6. Been there a bijillion times, but always on that team that couldn't hold out for the last 15 seconds.
Yes, I know you envy me. :P

Wow, I remember not winning HoH until i had around 500 fame! But o my times have chnaged. :P Now IWAY gives anyone a fair chance because when I first tombed, it was all spirit spam. Q_Q But now I have 11.3k fame so my time has payed off a little. 
lishi
won 1 time with a pug balaced(well one of mesmer used chaos storm xD)
but i should say when i begin to play there was no iway , the tomb was pretty full so was hard to skip etc etc

Chaos Storm ftw!! Just like Firestorm and Echo Mending!!!!!!!
I won halls twice with an IWAY PUG about 6 months or so back, maybe 5. Got my r1 that night. Now I'm like 80 something from r3 and I'm not in PvP mood ever. I don't wanna IWAY my r3 anymore than I have already.

Got from rank 1 to three by holding halls a few times in a day with 8 trappers when dust trap was bugged. I'm rank 4 atm and haven't really bothered with it.
shadowfell
Went from r0, to r1 and now, almost r2 in two days, just messing around, trying different builds (no, never iway) until finally winning halls earlier today with bloodspike. We didn't even skip, just rolled right though and thanks to an accidental cap at courtyard, we went into instant holding mode and won.. was awesome! and then managed a cap and hold at halls, was even more exciting! We only held the once, lost the next round, but I got a sigil, and I think out of my first ever halls win, that is a good thing ^^
J3mo
I just got rank3 but I won halls once, then hold it for 1 round
(btw: NO iway, that's so noobish)
(also i beat r9+ iway groups with my pug, i wont say names lmao)

One day??????
Oh yeah well won halls about 3-4 times in unranked team.
Once with iway, once with balanced ~ bonder team; and a couple with FoC spike group (before the nerf obviously).
eternal pho
The last time my group won halls was because the 2 remaining teams were interrupting each others Ghostly Heros, when our ghost had already capped. O_O
ateddybear
Lol couple weeks ago, our new guild (mostly people were < R3), we got to halls with our OG Bspike. But when we were loading up halls our SB/Infuser got err7'd. But nonetheless, we replace him with a warrior henchmen and end up winning with only 6 necros healing each other and ghost plus the Rit Lord just running around putting down frozen soil. I'll tell you what I love healing seed now!

I don't think I ever won halls unranked. When I was unranked halls was a lot harder to win 4- or 5-way, plus a 10-minute timer favoured the holding team more and it took more skill to take the altar. Which is something an unranked pug lacks. Plus, before the nerf (no, I won't call it "change", it was a nerf) people got a lot less skips, so less chances for that win due to stupid luck.
Guardian of the Light
R0, Win at Hall, once, long time ago.
Simple enough?

i didnt win halls til i was r3, and it was a lucky win too. my next win was r5 and i havent won ever since (r6 now crawling to r7) ;_;
so to answer op's question: no i never did =/ i was also unranked like Alleji when halls had the 10 min timer and more than 3 groups in HoH were still seen.

Guys, While we're on topic, how much fame you get for winning How? I'm 337 fame [~30 is iway fame] ...oh and i never won HoH :/
ZenRgy
I won it once back in the days of air spike, I win it on occasion now but I'm r5 now. ;p
nomercy
Well I am a retired HA'er (I got sick of all the error 7's in that place) and I am r3 with 245 fame. I've been to the Halls about 15 times now, have yet to win .
Been close once though, we took the Altar at 0:45, and the opponent stole it in 0:03... 3 seconds away from winning...!

My first win (and sadly, since then, only) HoH win was when I had less than 20 fame.

4ish times before rank3, running with Pi/Rnub rspike/barrageway. Good times.
Raging Pacifist
Pre r3 I won it twice.
First time was henchway, took the altar from brehon and fought an r9 pug
Second time was henchway, held against two iway teams
I got two sigils, since the chest drops the same amount of stuff even with henchies. Or so I believe.
The team was me, an r9 friend of mine, a r6 friend of his, and an unranked infuser we randomly invited.

I'm just barely passed rank1 but I've been to halls about 10 times, sometimes with pugs, sometimes with guildies.
each time we were either bested by a top ranking guild or got to cocky for our own good.... Well except the last time we were there when the stupid ghost and I got friggen stuck in the stairs RIGHT AT THE ALTER! I had ghostly and since I couldn't move, neither would he... I was one step from where he should be *sighs* I've been too ticked to play since then >_<
Never won halls yet, but I will some day. I'm not in any rush and all my fame has been adding up from putting new guildie pvpers through the paces so yeah.. *shrugs*

Halls is a bit poor in my opinion. it does feel nice I guess winning, but to me, it just doesn't feel like much of an achievement, _some_ of the teams that consistently win just really aren't all that great. The standards are extremely low in general so it just doesn't feel much like a big deal when winning halls.
Personally I don't play halls much for such reasons, I didn't actually win halls till i was rank 4. At times now though, when entering with a team that's got even a hint of skill you know you're probably going to win the halls, at the very least get there. I'm rank 8, I've never really grinded any of it, the vast majority of it comes from getting good 7-8 win streaks every so often. Without getting skips, and with the luck of avoidning courtyards altar ganks chances are you'll face a lot of unorganized pick ups. There are still some good organized teams in HA (iA, QQ, some known pugs like sama) ... and there's teams like LuNa who I'm pretty sure don't even use voice communication, and they win a lot... the fact they can do so without much communication says a lot

I like the time being reduced because no one did anything in halls matches anyways until at the very earliest 3 minutes in halls anyways. How often did you honestly see teams running around attacking each other at the 7 minute mark in an old type halls match. It saves alot of wasted time which could be used getting more fame.

And it's true, it's not as tough as it used to be, it's not as challenging when you know what builds are there or if its one of those "special" times when NO ONE is there then henchway ftw! Since most of the top guilds stopped running in there I have had no interest in playing, because I want that challenge and it's just not there anymore. I mean the best feeling was being in a more than horribly ranked guild and going up against a rank 15 guild and surviving the onslaught! Even if we didn't win it, it felt like we at least accomplished something... *shrugs* That's just my opinion though >_>
