    ...Wait, they are seeking to prove something? The data is pretty clear and you can interpret it however you want.

    Yes it is but I was curious what their sample size actually is. We can assume that it is the 500,000 accounts or so but too many people cheat and just poll like 100 people and pass off information from them as an indicator of the whole population.

    It's just a census.

    Yeah, but what they don't show is how long people keep that ribbon. I ranked all the way up to the cap and haven't touched a single campaign since. It would be interesting to see how long people keep their ranks, as that would be a better indicator of how well received WotG is.

    When I read the pie chart for RMT reports, I read "1218 Beating Requests for RMT" instead of "1218 Beating Quests for RMT"

    Their sample size is most likely the whole population, the server probably auto-collects the data for them.

    “Hey, I want to help my friends out with restoration and strengthening magic,”
    Seriously, who the fuck talks like that in this game?

    But I see this a lot though...
    “I want to attack with a weapon and deal lots of damage,”
    They usually end up being Red Mages with warrior or ninja subbed.

    I could've sworn they become WARs and MNKs that /NIN and never leave the Mire.
