What even is the purpose of all those non melee/blm jobs?

[Tiramu]

No, it's saying 30% of total, not 30% of half

全体の5割ぐらいの人は、プレイしてくださっていますね。
Around 50% of total people are playing.


4層までクリアしている方はもう少し少ないものの
Although, few people have completed the 4th floor.

で最新のレイドが終わっている人は、おおよそ全体の3割ぐらいです
The people who have completed the latest expansion raid is around 30% of total.


The Japanese is unclear, as Japanese often is. However, this would likely be total participants rather than playerbase, because the subject of the sentence its a part of is talking about participants. This is also the most likely reading of the text, because yours is not realistic.


We have two possibilities:

1. 50% of FFXIV's playerbase are attempting the latest savage raid, and 30% of those payers complete it. 30% of 50% of the playerbase (or 15% of the playerbase).

or

2. 50% of FFXIV's playerbase are attempting the latest savage raid, and 30% of the entire playerbase are completing it. Thats a 70%+ clear rate for the hardest content in the game right after its launched. If thats the case then ya'll need to get a grip, the content is easy as pie.

Of course, its not saying that, its way too high and would also contradict the fragment before it where it says that few people have cleared up to the 4th floor.
