Population data from the Live Letter

[Fleoming]

wow the data is really interesting~

[MartaDemireux]

A lot less SCH than I was expecting! :O

Scholar has no real Final Fantasy imagery.

That and, like myself and others I know I imagine that

a.) A lot of people stick with Summoner because they want their ten inch tall ketchup demon, mutated parrot and chicken nugget.

b.) Quit the class halfway through because Affliction Warlocks with intense pet micro are not all that fun.

Well I mostly meant that since queue times increase dramatically (from instant to over 25min) for healers post 30 I expected there to be more competition. The general consensus in the healing world has been that most ACN switch to SCH for duty finder in order to get chosen faster. But with so few SCH's it really makes me wonder if that was true at all or if WHM's mostly just solo'd up to 30 or chose to duty finder as something else until then.

Scholar has no real Final Fantasy imagery.

Not really true... the Calculator (essentially Scholar...) is one of the arguably most powerful jobs in Final Fantasy Tactics.

The whole average level thing is massively skewed because they are counting all jobs on a single character. I'd like to see the % of players with at least one job/craft/gather to 50.

I'm really impressed by the fact that we EU/NA made MORE kitties than the Japanese. O.o

(I know I'm a guilty cat)

[Shirai]

Those are quite interesting statistics to have for now.
But I would love to compare these to the data we'll get to see one year from now.

Yeah I feels like changing my race from Hyur to Elf or Roegadyn

I'm very surprised about the tank/healer %

As a whm my queue time shot up to 20+minutes after 30. And every tank I know is instant queue all the way to 50.

So I suppose the statistics are leaving out VERY important information on the server. The overwhelming number of healers that actually do instances compared to the overwhelming number of newb tanks that seem to think the game consists of FATE zerging so they don't actually do dungeons.

That could be due to the fact that 30+ scholars are also allowed to queue as a healer.

That's exactly what I thought, except the charts above clearly show that there are more Tanks in the game than healers total. So the queue times don't add up purely by the listed statistics alone.
