Oh yes, it's great for alliance - which is why I always boggled at the objections I used to hear from them that it'd mean 3 for the horde.

The Barrens is an odd zone.  It's enormous, it covers a huge level range, and yet it's primarily intended to be a Horde zone, despite being contested.  That the alliance (and some classes, particularly) have a couple of quests there, as well as it also having a neutral goblin town - the only one that was without a flight point - makes it unique.

Even though the constant raids on the Crossroads and other lowbie camps in the Barrens make it seem contested, it is NOT a contested zone, in fact it's a Horde zone.

Yes, there are like some quests you can do in Barrens as Alliance. You can get some quests from Goblins in the Ratchet at low levels, but traveling there would require passing through lands much higher level then the quester - it makes no more sense to put a flight path because of those quests then it does to put one in Westfall for the few quests that the Horde can do there.

And no, don't bring Razorfen Downs/Crawl into this, because any sane person attempting to do those qould travel to the Thousand Needles or at least Theramor. Class quests fall under the same category as well - there are quests for Warriors that require traveling to Wetlands, yet I don't see a flightpath anywhere there.

Anyway, if the node will see some heavy use, I guess that's not a bad idea, although it seems to me that not many Alliance will even try to take that route to get around. I guess it's just really weird to see an Alliance flightpath in Horde Territory.
