Because they "Seem" to be the most powerful. One is the perfect type for a mage,
the other the perfect type for a 'muscle-sam'.

They have high 'cool' factors because of this.

That's not why all players go for them. But above and beyond the players that
go for them for good reasons are the crowd of 'numbers runners' who go for them
for the 'cool' and the 'power' they seem to have.
