[To the Devs] Can we get a Server census?

[Zedine]

I think it would be cool to know how many Races of each type, classes and jobs are on each server and over all. This can help us decide what we want to level and play. Plus, looking at this type of data is always nifty!

Lots of Hyur and Miqote. Too many dragoons, bards and paladins on all servers.

Thanks this is awesome, although I think it only has data that is public. So I don't think its 100% accurate. But awesome non the less.

1) Putting [To the Devs] in your topic title doesn't increase your chances of a response. This was officially confirmed by the devs themselves. They will read topics regardless of whether you vie for their attention or not. whether they state it or not, everyone here would love a dev response. But not everyone is going to get one.
2) It ESPECIALLY doesn't increase your chances while the Community Team is on vacation.
3) If you say "to the devs" because you don't care about discussing your topic and just want to make a suggestion, SE has a suggesiton box, only the devs/team read that so you actually have a better chance going through that avenue.
4) i'm not sure how knowing what races and jobs people have leveled makes a good factor in you decidin what you want to play? Shouldn't you play what you want to play because you like it, not because some statistic said too many/not enough people are doing this or that?

Don't get me wrong. That data is fun to look at, but making decisions from it would be folly.

Don't be too hard on him.

I know but it is a question comment to the devs, since they are the ones that have full access to said data, you cannot help me with this, obvious by this post.

Correct again but i would also like feedback from the community and lets say a lot of people like this it becomes a hot thread the devs might see it when they get back. Or i can get an awesome response like above.

Link that please.

Well people always complain about long DPS queues maybe when they realize their server has 30kDPS 2k tanks and 2k healers they might reconsider next time they level a new class. Or maybe the whole "there are not enough Roegadyn" is a myth and this can be shown in the data. Yeah you should play what you want to play but since you can play on many servers on many characters maybe you can look for a server with low tanks and you have a higher chance of getting into a coil static and play with more people of same race. Or what if you are unsure what to play or what race to pick, this can be a deciding factor. Of what is popular what is not, what is in demand what there is too many of. Hell if there are 10,000 cooks on your server and only 1000 carpenters, maybe lvl carpenter to make more money?

Should i keep going?

So... It's for the devs, but you claim you'd like feedback from the community, and you know the devs read threads without this nonsense...
So it's supposed to be exactly like a normal thread, but with this... Oh my, you're gold material.

Please, don't keep going. You really shouldn't shame yourself more than that.

It's mainly so people know I am asking this to the devs. Like the link provided is not official and someone did post it and I do like the link, I would still like an official one. So no it is not like a normal Thread, a normal thread is a general discussion, this one is a general discussion with a statement or question towards the developers. Other general discussions could be just for the community. I didn't think I would need to explain but some people on these threads...
