Was this necessary?

So I should remove that from the post because you don't personally care about it?

Got a translated version of these charts? Or does such a thing not exist?

Maybe it matters to you, but you could word it in that way.

It's time to buff ninja in PvP.

The official census is done on the 9+ millions of registered accounts, including hyur and lalafell bots and people who haven't played since 2013-14, so some of the data included is not really relevant, though things like savage clear rates or rarest titles/mounts are 100% accurate.

The fact that it includes people who haven't played since before HW launch is why Au Ra appears so low, when according to the unofficial census Female Au Ra is the second most played after Female Miqo'te.

(derp me, accidentally posted this in another thread)

Not really, at least not at the moment, as the savage mode is just an extension of normal (which would have much higher clear rates). Also, it's nice to have (optional) content that does offer a significant challenge should you want it.

That said, I am a bit worried about savage mode come 4.0, which is supposedly going to be getting it's own bits of story. Not only does that increase the dev time, but it locks lore behind content that only few % can / will (/ should) ever clear... and that was the issue non-raiders had with raids in early WoW, which of course lead to endless calls for an 'easy mode', and we all know how that turned out #LFR. Not a good road to go down.

I always have a tough time believing these gender ratios. Like 90% of the people I know play female characters.
Also, holy shit that Europe shift!

That was also the first thing I noticed! Didn't even have the old numbers but remembered that we had a huge tilt towards female characters, so seeing this I was like "What the heck? How did that even happen?"

Also, what's with the weird ratio for the GCs? Not to be rude, but..this is the first time in ages I hear of more than a handful of people being in Twin Adders at all.
But here it's like twice the numbers Maelstrom has? Huh?

Equally shocked /beckon won over /sit, which I thought was obviously the most used emote of all.
Especially since I have never seen beckon being used..or am I mixing emotes up?

Beckon can be explained because it is used in Escort levequest. And not only once per said levequest but many times since I guess players tend to spam it (more than necessary as I am also coupable) so the pet, or whatever you're escorting, keeps on moving :)
