Why is no one talking about beastmaster?

... was it?
I know the forums were full of people complaining, but they always are.
They're not a good representation of anything.
Do we have any hard numbers on how many people actually play BLU?

Why should we not use the forum? Just because only a small part of the playerbase visit it does not mean that it cant show how good a content is accepted or not. Heck with stuff like Diadem the forum was right all along and when the forum (and some other sites) were on flames after Shirogane Savage the devs reacted and doubled the wards in every zone..so yes the forum is an indicator. (After all if you do statistics you also dont need all the people, just a good enough sample size)

And as others have said, you cant take numbers as the only pure fact..I have leveled blue to at least lvl 50, I still disliked it..but I would have counted as those playing it. Just like Eureka..people need to try it out for a bit to make a decision. So people playing it does not mean that they like it. There is also the problem that there is no way to tell SE what we think other than forum, reddit and other sources. So yes those sources are valuable and should not just be taken out of it because they are only used by a small amount of people. Sadly I think that SE just takes a look at the amount of players using it and take it as success...no matter if maybe some are running it just for other reasons, like certain mounts or because it makes it easier for farming fates.

Because people overwhelmingly post about something they're unhappy with. It's not gonna give you any more accurate a picture than the raw number of people that have BLU levelled.
For example I'm totally happy with DRK right now, but I'm not gonna make a thread being all "SQEX DRK is cool thx" because why would I? Instead the people that have issues with it just post about their issues.
Same holds true for BLU.
