Fan Census: This is embarrassing

[Sapphic]

Are the numbers calculated from achievements? If so it doesn't take into account those who block access to their achievements which would skew the numbers off for a start.

If not achievements, how are the numbers calculated?

XIVpads cannot take achievements from those who have blocked access.

Example, from achievements page for me on XIVpads


No Achievements!

Achievements are parsed and updated seperately from character data. It could take a while but hopefully not too long! If you are eager to see your achievements, click the "Update" button and follow the instructions

Alternatively, this character may have their achievements private, which means they will never show up! /cry

Bolded the important part.

If thats the case, JP may just be more open with their achievement page on Lodestone in comparison.
