Why melee PvP?

[compulsion]

Thanks for the replies that actually managed to stay on topic, and looking forward to any more.

Note: this isn't a matter of "what class can I solo to 50 as fast as possible then 2 shot under geared blue cons as they catch up?" Everyone who wants that already rolled a necro, druid, or to a lesser extent, wizard. It is about the big XvX wars will play out as the server progresses.

Melees just seem to have a more interesting role in groups, as well as more diverse gearing options, which could make them really fun as the server progresses. As well, quite a bit of PvP later in the game will be happening along zone lines which favors the melee playstyle.
