Players distribution per level

[Lakshmana]

Hello,

was just curious about this so I spent some time running some searches on different criteria to get some figures.

Server: Ragnarogk (EU)
Time: 13:15 - 13:25 GMT

Distribution per levels, regardless of class:
Level: 01 - 05 Players: 39 (2.04%)
Level: 06 - 10 Players: 77 (4.02%)
Level: 11 - 15 Players: 87 (4.55%)
Level: 16 - 20 Players: 83 (4.34%)
Level: 21 - 25 Players: 107 (5.59%)
Level: 26 - 30 Players: 122 (6.37%)
Level: 31 - 35 Players: 113 (5.90%)
Level: 36 - 40 Players: 100 (5.22%)
Level: 41 - 45 Players: 123 (6.43%)
Level: 46 - 50 Players: 93 (4.86%)
Level: 50: Players: 970 (50.68%)

Details on Level 50 players:
GLA/PLD: 77
PUG/MNK: 52
MRD/WAR: 51
LNC/DRG: 61
ARC/BRD: 129
CNJ/WHM: 94
THM/BLM: 110
ARC/SMN: 55
SCH: 54
---------------
Miner: 59
Botanist: 79
Fisher: 47
---------------
All DOH: 102

I expect there are some very small errors due to:
a. The searches and counting taking like 10 minutes, so some players may have changed job/class
b. Some players are in instances (mostly at level 50, I would assume) so the figures for level 50 are even higher in reality, if they don't appear in searches

What it shows at the very first sight:
1. The game is very heavy at level 50, with over 50% of the players being level 50, not even counting those that have a class at 50 and were not on it at the time of search. Keep in mind Ragnarok is a legacy server.
2. BRD is the most popular job by far
3. Second most popular job is BLM
4. Points 3 and 4 show a preference of ranged DD. Just the BRD number is more than the sum of DRG and MNK.
5. Extremely few crafters using the class at 50, given that ALL the crafting classes in total were just 100 guys.

6. There are still too many DD, healers are close to ok, tanks way too few
Tanks: 128 (18.74%) ideal value: 25%
Healers: 148 (22.67%) ideal value: 25%
DD: 407 (59.59%) ideal value: 50%

7. PLD is still clearly preferred to WAR
