The player base that was around 50 first this survey ARE the hardcore player ... and ohhhhh wait a minute, they are 5-10% of all the players, strange
These numbers have not change that much, They may have changed but not significantly enough, at give u an error margin of 5%.
And the fact that on legacy servers the majority of us can have free mules, and the fact that RMT are rampant throughout all servers doing low level quests, selling gil, then getting banned, rinse repeat DO NOT SKEW THESE FIGURES AT ALL?

What about the free 2 play trial period for new players?

Statistics are just numbers. They are not definitive.
