Quote:That is your opinion. They have put an arbitrary limit on toons of 10 per server. Blizzard also created 3 trees for each class. In many cases, each tree can require a different play style, almost as if they are different classes. Therefore it is easy to understand how people can have all slots filled with toons they have invested large amounts of time on, time they don't want to throw away. With as long as WoW has been out, it wouldn't even have required ridiculous amounts of time to do so.
I agree that 10 is somewhat arbitrary at this point. If a significant number of players felt the way you do, I'm sure they could take the database hit and expand it. However with respec costs down to basically being a speed bump, I dispute the need from a game play perspective to have more then one character of a class. In fact it would probably be a detriment - it would be far far easier to delete your fire mage and respec your frost one if you wanted to try out fire for a while. Especially for mages, where your frost gear would pretty much transfer over comepletly. I'm not sure leveling to 46 counts as large amounts of time.
I like alts as much as the next guy. I've played every class to 30. I can't see many people having the motivation to make more then 9 (soon 10).
I see you also have a bank toon. I'd much rather see Bliz spend their time working out a rational means of account wide storage then spending it expanding the character slots for the few edge cases such as yourself.
