Ok, that strange hybrid caster/melee toon that kinda works in pve, won't work worth shit in pvp. That off the wall melee that uses something unexpected like a all str bow using half giant ain't just gonna cut it.

So why is people have the fascination with making alt toons for these gimmicks? They serve no real purpose, and yea they may be fun to goof around on but when you join a regular group to pvp, it gimps the group as we are wasting a group spot for a toon that won't do anything in pvp and soak up all the heals that others could actually use.

Am I the only one who doesn't mind just playing 2-3 toons, all of them completely viable pvp options, two of which are staples of pvp? it just costs more gold, gear and time to get another alt to 75, not to mention assuming it even works in pvp so why bother with a gimmick build? sure it's your time but when you bring that toon into guild-time it hampers others, and that ain't kosher in my opinion.

Experimentation is one thing, dragging down a group of people in pvp is another.
