You haven't seen the AST numbers go up "at all"? Have you even looked?
My point was not to quote you or to even attack you, merely to show that I have a bias and an example of why I have said bias, so I paraphrased. Should I have gotten an exact quote? Probably, but I'm sick,tired, and at work, so I honestly cannot be bothered to dig through old threads or through profiles or w/e.

As for AST growth, yes, I looked at it this morning, sure it went up, but not in anyway that indicates it's doing well. I have an old SS from sep 2 where AST was at 15k, to today where it was at 17k. A significant growth, until you compare it to the other two healers, who grew at the same amount in the same amount of time, with WHM actually growing a bit more. Tells me the same people who were playing AST are the same people still playing it. If there were any time for AST to get more popular, it'd be now since people are getting bis and would actually care about starting to do parse runs. I am curious how it's grown compared to when the raid tier started. For much the same reason I can't be asked to go back and find the numbers it was at then,so please show me if you have them, if I remember correctly, AST hasn't grown nearly as much as the other two, but that's people off whats in my head so I wont make conjecture.
