1 person represents 0.0000006%(rounding) of the population (doesn't matter if you are a die hard fan, hard core, casual, whiteknight, pessimist, optimist, etc..).
5% would mean 90,000 people
I'm not seeing 90,000 actively using these forums, otherwise they'd blow up.


Lets just be a pessimist and say that only half of 1.8 million are active subscribers (which is low balling in any MMO estimates).
90,0000 actives.
1 person represent 0.000001%(rounding)
5% would mean 4,500 people
I can see 4,500 people actively using the forums at maybe peak times when the game is being patched for maintenance. If they were active users then you'd see a crap ton more topics, posts, replies each day.

Folks need to understand when they say things like "most of us" and "majority" that they have no clue what they are talking about.
