One which the devs would surely listen to feedback about.

And yet. Reality ensues.
Could it be it is the most played job because it's the easiest to do well? Or is it the theme?

I wish SE did more polls in game... I'm curious. Sometimes it's obvious making it easier WAS the more popular choice, other times there might be confounding variables.

Not that I'm against some jobs having a higher level of play (I think there should be a general spread), but it might be SE is like "I hear you want that, and I also see that you're full of it". lol. Or at least that might be their perspective.

I mean if someone was trying to sell Ultimate as a majority content that they need to spend the most of their resources on, and they didn't know better it would probably happen like that. "Yeah, now I don't believe you". It's obviously a minority content, but for those who do it- it's obviously something they're happy to have exist.
