Assuming the classic playerbase is 1 million people (that’s low balling it) then 3k guilds full clearing is about 120,000 people giving you a rough estimate of 12% of the player base having full cleared MC.
3k guilds is low too, it’s 4.2k currently on WCL, and that doesn’t count people who aren’t logging or aren’t logging under a guild tag. I’d estimate it’s closer to 6k groups clearing MC or 240k people and about 24% of the playerbase.
Full clearing. Now take into account of guilds 8/10 and pugs
If you take a look here: https://ironforge.pro/servers
which uses data specifically from WCL (so it’s at least verified data, but not the whole picture) it shows that 320k unique characters have showed up on WCL, now we can figure at least SOME people have alts they also raid with, but it’s going to be low and probably can be even negated by the number of people who don’t log at all, because, i mean… it’s classic.
There’s also very few Chinese guilds on logs relative to their Classic population. They probably have their own site they use for logs.
yeah there’s a lot of guilds on my server that have guild Ragnaros who haven’t logged any fights so it’s safe to assume that there’s more guilds that have full cleared than we have been lead on to believing
4+ hours a day playing a video game IS NOT CASUAL! Lets say a couple hours a week playtime and not even EVERY DAY is casual 4+ hours a day is pretty hardcore and unhealthy.
Is working 8 hours a day hardcore and unhealthy? Why is spending 4 hours a day with a hobby you enjoy unhealthy?
I work, I come home, make dinner while waiting for my group to fill up, I eat while they fly to the dungeon. 4 hours is literally not much time per day. It’s casual. I don’t have kids, I don’t need to set more time aside for stuff after my work. Sorry I know how to manage my life in such a way I can make more room for things I enjoy. That’s on you buddy
Yikes…
I wake up at 6:30 get to work by 7, off by 3:30pm, go work out for an hour, get home around 5pm. Most days I prep my meals in advance so I don’t have to cook. So that leaves 5 hours of free time IF I sleep by 10pm. Sorry you chose different hobbies that intervene with WoW. I chose not to, I skipped out on playing games I normally would like to play so I could hit 60 and get geared by phase 2.
Which again, I had my knowledge of Vanilla since I played since Dec 25th 2004. I followed guides because I never played horde or a shaman during those times. Worked out just fine, bit slower than I’d like to have hit 60 but hey at least I’m here.
8 hours working a day is actually proving to be unhealthy mentally
conversely doing something you enjoy for 8 hours as long as you do it in a healthy way (stand up, stretch, do excerises, etc, don’t just sit there) is good for your mental health
Acids from bacteria and microbes that eat the left over food in your mouth for 20 miniutes after eating give or take wear your enamel even more. You know those some undiscovered little guys
You could play, just not in UC. Don’t dramatize something that wasn’t so bad. You just have to be smarter and avoid the PvP areas and do something else. Sucks, but that’s how it is. And how would delaying the phase help? It wouldn’t change the ensuing bloodbath once the honor system is out. Stop crying and go play on a PvE server.
I’m just making a point that people who are already 60 are neglecting their hygiene. Taking showers and more requires time.
No, you’re not making a point, you’re just here to troll because you’re upset that you don’t have the same amount of freedom that other people do.
Small 5% are clearing raids??
Your argument is completely invalid based on this alone. Yes i still see people spamming for low level dungeons - but the mass majority of everything i see is BRD or higher. I am pretty sure you pulled this AMAZING 5% statistic out of your butt considering this isn’t even remotely close to true.
I did the math on another thread here but if you played .08% of the time the game has been out - you should be level 60 by now based on the average leveling time being 7 days played. If you couldnt commit to less than 10% of the time the game has been out to level… i have no pity for you.
How much water do you waste taking showers bro lol 3 minutes to brush teeth and another 2 to floss x2 a day isn’t time consuming.
I’m not a troll. I did get to level 44 and will get to level 45 when I have enough rested bonus. About not having enough time this is true and was the main point of my post.
Edit: To Menzer: I find showers a enjoyable part of life. I once had endocarditis and appreciate the joy of a shower and shave immensely, more than before.
…Hey.
