Have you ever deleted any 50's?

When I moved from Virtue to Freedom I didn't feel like ponying up $10 each for my characters to tranfer. I had some friends that wanted the names so I deleted a few 50s there. Have deleted a couple since then because I knew I was never going to play them again after the horrible PvP changes made them useless. It's not really that big a deal to delete them when my whole server list is full of 50s.

Yeah, deleted my first 50 (and namesake character,) my Storm/Elec Defender. Pretty much for two reasons:
1. I really don't play 50s much at all.
2. This was back when we had like eight slots total.

So, I decided to scrap him to make room for a played alt. Now that I have more slots than I know what to do with, I kinda regret it, since I lost something like 35 HOs in the process. A few years later, when I had slots again, I played a Storm/Archery Defender up to 50 just to apologize to Storm Summoning. And because Archery >>>>> Electric Blast.

I have deleted six level 50's to date.

Five of them were transfered to other servers and then later deleted when I realized I never went back to play them.

One was deleted when I wanted to try something similiar but different secondary on my main server.

As Sam said....
Once you get past the first deletion.... the others become easier.

I only have two fifties and I haven't deleted either of them yet. I might delete my first, a Kat/Regen scrapper. I enjoyed the ride like the dickens on the way up back in the day when I discovered how planning a build is a really good idea, but for some reason these days he seems boring to me. I do pull him out and run him through AE missions I'm writing as a tester though.

So few toons hold me to even 45 that I'll probably end up keeping him though. Altitis is an evil, evil thing.

Well, I was really happy when I got my Fire/kin to 50 finally but with some help of ole-sg-mates that showed me what farming was all about way back when the, "Family" mish was the hot thing everyone was farming. Well later on that Mish got NERFED by a long haul and got ripped form the great XP so, I deleted the toon. I think if I wasn't so angry, it would be here still but I DELETED it. Goon's Imps was it's corny @$$ name which too helped me say, eff it, it is GONE, I'm deleting it. However, a new mish was hot (Demons) I realised not far later after deleting it so, Helluva Goon., a new fire/kin was created FTW!!!

I won't get a character to 50 if I don't absolutely love playing him, with one exception. My very first character (kin/nrg defender "Kinetic Tut") became a grind at level 40 back in i3-ish and I wanted a bloody warshade. I got him to 50, rolled my 'shade and deleted the 'fender.

I delete a lot of characters in the 40s. Mostly to reroll the concept of the character as something more effective. My peacebringer, for example, was so terribly outperformed by everyone around him at level 44 that I rerolled as a rad/nrg blaster, powers colored to be peacebringer blue/white.

Never. I see deleting a level 50 as a waste of an investment, especially when they can be transferred to another server.

Yes I have deleted a 50: my Broadsword/dark armor scrapper. He was beautiful. I loved how he looked; but I find BS unbearably slow and sludgy. This after I went to the trouble of unlocking Vanguard and Rulaaru weapons on him.

Also deleted: a level 42 mace Tanker. I almost never delete after level 35, but this was a special case of "I have had *enough* of this crap!"

This freed up spots on my home server and actually ended up being a huge relief. Gone was my guilt over not playing these two.

All of my level 50s have open beaks: from 47 on is when I begin serious crafting. This takes a ton of inf. and salvage, of course, and that has to go to the folks whom I love best. That's a lot of time, farming and effort for every one of those. Simple economics, really.

Hello, my Name is Irish-Fury, and I am an altaholic. My altoholism made the evil monkey farms impossible to resist. I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway. This is not something I am proud of. I leveled two toons from 1-50 during that dark time, and deleted them both because I just felt dirty.

I've been playing just over 6 months and have three legit level 50s. I love them all dearly, and don't see ever deleting them.

Energy/Energy Blaster- Aniketos Pium, My first 50 and a blast to play.

Elec/Shield Brute- Irish-Fury, My main badge toon.

Archery/Fire Blaster- Knight-Archer, Probably my most fun toon to play in teams.

Many, but the ones I can remember are:

* A Fire/Fire Tank shortly after ED and the burn nerf.
* An Ice/Kinetics Corruptor which I used only for ocassional PvP, after the PvP SG disbanded.
* An Illusion/Radiation Controller which started in Koschej's supergroup as a "clone" of my main in Freedom, then moved to Freedom during the free transfer period, then I deleted in i17 as part of the story arc where my main hero faces a doppleganger from another dimension; it just made sense that this doppleganger was the alt from the other server, so I deleted him.
* A Fire/Thermal Corruptor, my villain badge wh*re, after GR so I could focus on my hero main for badging.
* A Radiation/Sonic Defender last week, because I hadn't played it in about a year.

And soon:

* An Archery/Mind Blaster, when I get another freespec to finish unslotting him. I used all his available respecs last week and got 5 billion inf back from enhancements.

There are two characters that are "untouchable" for me; my main badge wh*re, and my Fire/Kinetics Controller who has Bug Hunter. Everybody else faces deletion if I don't play it long enough. I don't like having "inactive" characters.

Admittedly, it was not just the guilt that led me to delete the characters. One was a spines/fire scrapper that I found to be extremely boring, and lacking the smash! factor that I get from my elec/shield. The other was a widow and when playing solo, it was underwhelming. I filled up my character slots on my home server, and didn't want to pay for transfers. Since I had very little time invested, they got replaced.
