When the pvp brackets were changed from +-1 player level to every 5, that forced many players to move to levels of multiples of 5 (5, 10, etc.). So imo after that chaos the level distribution never recovered since people dont want to spend millions on gear just to have sts change brackets again. So why lvl 10? Auction and pets. The auction is the single most important feature of the game and you are pretty close to lvl 10 when you reach travelers outpost (first town with auction). Then the fact that pets get a new passive at level 10 cemented my lvl 10 status.
P.s. - im guessing this thread is in response to all the crying in the "nerf X dps class otherwise nobody will want Y dps class!" threads. However, looking at the chart, the dps classes seem rather evenly split, so all the crying is for nothing imo.
