Official Eorzea Census 2016

I'm skeptic about whether those numbers are representative of the active player community.

Same - We had a lot of these unofficial mining things by now and, well... Au Ra have become nearly as popular as miqo'te among 60s.

It makes sense aura don't look popular by census numbers. All those characters created by players at the start of 2.0 and who quit during the first free month are still there. This alone is probably a ton of characters because most sales with video games usually happen within first days of the games release. All those characters created on free trials are still here. Same for characers who belong to anyone who got ARR for cheap sale and then didn't stay for long because they got bored. None of these players had access to au ra.

Not sure about that, do those breakdowns by race and gender only count 'active' players or everyone? If it was everyone, including the 100's of thousands of bots that have been permabanned I'd expect Hyur to be even higher than they are.

Aura - master race.

I personally prefer being of a rare race. I won't have so many clones.

I would prefer an actual survey that we would have to take for us to get the accurate numbers. Hyur numbers are huge do to the bots. I also personally see way more AuRas around than shown in census. Also, I believe I see way more females than males. It could be just my server, but it's what I see.

Thank goodness PLD is now the least played tank. The fact that it was the most played until now is what was possibly stopping it from getting a buff. SE, please, buff PLD already!

[Rita1989]

The male/ female characters are definitely off they have to be counting bots on NA/EU servers

[Awful]

That's crazy that Drk overtook Pld and Smn is the most played DPS job how things have changed since 2.X I just wonder if the dev team knows that people don't like Pld as much as they used to and what their future plans are.

Some key points --

A9S 82,078 cleared players.
A10S 67,240 cleared players.
A11S 38,614 cleared players.
A12S 19,725 cleared players.

Depends on who you talking to if they key points as I could personally care less how many people have cleared savage alex floors.
