What are the most and least played classes?

[Jetto]

Before the xpac hits, what are the most and least played classes ( lets say that people MAIN)

I guess its easy to group all the tanks and healer classes and say its those 5-6 but in general, for each role, what are the least and most played classes??

Back when ARR was couple patches old, felt like I saw a TON of DRG and BRDs, not sure if thats still the case. I felt the WAR/PLD were balanced in terms of popularity and I felt the healer classes were balanced as well with maybe seeing sightly more SCH than WHM

Didn't SE release pie charts denoting what classes were played the most/least at some point during HW?

I think that Drk was supposed to be 37%, else you end up with 110%, but otherwise yes these numbers look familiar in terms of the last SE census release I saw.

SE, pls. According to DPS statistic, SMN is the most played DPS. According to total statistic, SMN is the second least played DPS. That does not add up >.>

I think the "Percentage of level 60 jobs" is kind of vague. To me, it means "the total amount of lvl 60 jobs that players have" rather than being played.

What's missing from the whole thing is the rate at which a job is played individually.

I'd note that SCH and SMN's numbers are probably a little bloated because most people who play a arcanist role will most likely unlock both but that doesn't mean they PLAY both or really know how to. Like Scholars who don't know to spread crit adlos or Summoners who don't manually use contagion.
