You can have 1500 active parties it doesn’t matter if all are a PCT, 2 random melees and maybe a tank waiting to fill for 4 hours before disbanding
If the parties were all like 1 or 2 people looking to put together an entire group (as you mention), that would mean something. But it's not. We posted around about it here in the "Healer strike" thread and noted how most of the groups were only looking for 1 or 2 people (typically either a Tank, a Healer, or interestingly a Tank+DPS). When the large majority of those PF groups are just missing one person, that's a ton of people still interested in doing PF. That is the entire point. But way to create a strawman scenario - it says the underlying attempt at a point isn't valid.

Source? Because that retention, when we know barely antyhing about that and only SE has the data seems like wishful thinking at best. Especially when anyone can go to steamcharts and find that the average population right now is below/equal to the one we can find during EW patch lull, let alone how this is happening when we are not even one full patch into the expansion which is quite telling.
Source for what? The %'s are based on the Steam charts that, as you mentioned, anyone can view...

Also, remember that EW dropped in the middle of the "WoW Exodus," so the pure population #'s for the beginning of EW and its first patch cycle or so are inflated with people who were never likely to stick around that long, anyway. A better comparison will be around the time we hit the .2 patch and comparing it to the similar EW numbers, since by then the "WoW Exodus" had run its course.

Considering he is one of the very few white knights still left on this forum, he made it up.
Nice ad hominem . Meanwhile, the person you even responded to pointed out the source in their own comment...*shakes head in disbelief*

Nah, he didn't make them up. They're just old and outdated now. Like this game.
How are they outdated? Seriously, like - basic logic here. How is using the current data #'s and comparing them to the equivalent data #'s for the past two expansions "old"? *Shakes head even more profoundly*
