So, what's with the lack of Machinist in DF?

[ohmRICE]

Going by luckybancho's census: on Aether there are a total of 8571 players with level 60 MCH and 99252 players who have Heavensward.
Let's assume everyone who has Heavensward is at level cap and doing their thing. If everyone who had MCH at level 60 actively plays it that'd only be around 9% of the population.

But we all know that all those people aren't actively playing MCH, let alone sitting through DPS queue as one so the percentage only falls from there.
Personally, I enjoy MCH the most out of all the jobs in the game so I was a little shocked going through these numbers!
