In Vanilla and TBC, I had several level 60 / 70 alts. I had roles for all my characters: one was the raiding toon, the other was my PvP DPS toon, the third was the multitask healer... I even had a "farming" slave.
In WotlK, I've decided to spend all my time on one single character; for raiding, BGs, Arena, achievments, everything.
As a result :
- I'm among the best and most geared players of my guild.
- No one ever ask me to fill a role I don't feel to, or ask me to switch toon for a boss, only to see the loot I needed drop.
- My guildmates think I'm awesome, instead of saying that I have several "okay" toons
- I kick butts in PvP by mixing PvP ang PvE gear, depending of what I have at the moment.
- When I'm around waiting for a raid to start, and I see a horde getting ganked, I switch to my PvP specc and gear and I show the ennemy no mercy.
- I never say "I wish I had that mount, (or rare pet, or achievment...), on my other toon".
- There's always a time, during the week, when I did everything I needed to do, so I spend more time with my family.
- I have tons of gold.
- I have clear objectives and I have a lot less "unfihished buiseness". I don't get bored anymore after a while.
I know that playing different roles is fun as well... I did it for two expansions. But I will never regret the day I decided to spend all my time and efforts on a single character.
Forget your alts, it's healthier :D
