wasnt there one war were it laddered all the way from level 5 vs a 9 then a 15 to kill the 9 then a 21 to kill the 15 kept on going up until there was 220's pvping more then anyone else.
Has happened before with me and some other tl3 friends ganking at 2h0, fun to see but for towers its a screwed up mechanic
your "roll a toon not in range" is moot. Aslong as other people can pvp/heal who arnt in pvp range of the tower, the mechanics are always going to be flawed
