Went and actually looked at the polls on that channel (now that I'm less tired, relatively speaking), and they're sorted by role (fair enough) so as to show 'which of the jobs in this role is the most popular'. But the issue is, I could go vote in the Melee section, and ONLY the Melee section, were that my area of expertise. Same with other roles, I could vote in only the healer one. So... similar to Ty's survey where people could vote in 'only the part they have a vested interest in'? Besides that, this is the first time I (and likely a lot of others) have even heard about this survey, in fact, some have never heard of the channel. So I guess it falls into the same problem as 'only the forums knew about the Ty survey', too focused a dataset.

Which means that all in all, whatever reasons that Ty's survey was considered scuffed and 'not reliable data' applies to this, and vice versa. The only 'real data' would be an official SE survey and we ain't getting one of those
