If you look at Grobbulus on wowclassicpop (specifically look at activity) you’ll see that it’s been 2 1/2 weeks since Horde did a census (showing concurrency). This is making it look like there’s less Horde than Alliance when in fact it’s because Horde haven’t been uploading data recently.
There are ways to make it take a bit less time. Uncheck Zone Search and Name Search; this might make it slightly less accurate, however it’ll take quite a bit less time (as it is with these configurations it still takes about an hour and a half on the Alliance give or take, due to the ~10 second delay between the allowed /who rate limiting).
Please do your part Horde and we Alliance will keep doing ours.
If you want people to upload data you should be giving them a reason to you have not.
Telling people to do something is the best way to get them not to do it. Esp on the fourms.
Giving people a good reason to do somethign esp if it gives them something of value if the best way to get them to do it.
People think for themselves not for you.
It taking less time is meaningless what you need is for them to have a reason to. If they have a reason to the time used is a much lesser factor. This is basic marketing you don’t sell someone a product you meet there needs and as such in turn make a sale, furthermore the sale is made in shorter time and often on higher volume. Vs selling a product you don’t even no if they need or want.
Do read if you want THEM to do it give THEM a reason to do it.
That is not a reason for them to do it. It in fact tells them not to.
Really if you cant even understand the basics of negotiation you shouldn’t ask for anything as you will get less than you asked for and likely lose more than you gain. I’ve seen 3 year olds able to understand the basics of, “if you want something give a reason to someone to give you it that”, which you seam to have difficulty’s with. For example if you want candy cry till they give you candy to shut you up. You making a post here and asking others to do work for you just gives us a reason not to do it as gives us the joy of annoying you without having to do anything. While crying wont get you anywhere in this case as its easy to block you unlike with your own kid.
The reason should be obvious… people who joined/stayed on Grobbulus like a balanced PVP server… if people on both factions don’t do their part in the census it will skew what the population looks like it is (such as low Horde to Alliance ratio), which might make Horde leave leading to an imbalanced realm (when it didn’t need to happen).
You want something you give the reason you don’t make people assume.
People needing to make assumptions to find your reason means it’s not worth the effort for them to find the reason or bother with your comment.
The vary fact you don’t give the reason since “it should be obv” shows you lack the basic understanding to make a request.
Also that site giving wrong info dosent bother most players so no it’s not a good reason. Pre that site and even now we have better ways to see the pop people really care about. Almost no one gives two hoots about overall realm pop ratio. They care about raiding pop and arena player pop based on what type of player they are both are not found via the data you are asking for so your reasoning for asking for it is not obv it’s in fact not even a worthwhile reason. It’s useless data for most players. For example I don’t give a a crap if the realm is 50/50 or not so long as enough players are raiding at a high enough level to get groups when I want. Your numbers show next to no info on that. Iron forge on the other hand gives rather good info on that and requires 0 extra effort. So why would I upload useless data.
Also players leaving is rarly due to a unbalanced realm. It’s due to them not being able to find groups for the content they want when they want. Realm ratio has little to do with that which is why most realms are not balanced as a one sided realm of the same total pop has a much higher amount of players that are open to play with. The majority of players look to maximize those they can play with not to keep balance. This is the same reason mega realms are so popular.
The only ones that care about realm ratios are those after world pvp which as there is basicly no options for good world pvp in wrath most don’t care about this and those that do don’t really have other options as such once again making that data rather pointless even for those that care about world pvp.
You have given 0 reason why people should upload that data or even care about it when there is better sources for the data that really matters, that take less work.
That is categorically false… many people leave a realm when a faction (at least with PVP realms) if it becomes too unbalanced (their faction becomes too much of a minority).
They don’t leave since the realm is unbalanced they leave since there to to few of there faction in order to do the content they want to do when they want.
Massive diff.
No one cares if there is more of the other side out in the world when you don’t really interact with the world in wrath. While tons of layers so able to avoid them easy even playing on Ben as horde you don’t even see the other side and that’s a 1-3 percent vs 97-99 percent inbalance favouring alliance.
What matters is the amount of people running the content you want on that realm which that site dose not show making its data rather worthless. Ironforge among other sites give much more relevant data.
I have the addon I’ll run it and upload it when on my Grobbulus horde and upload data, to be fair it’s not that often but I’ll help you out.
I do think that most people are back to using ironforge.pro though because the raiding/arena data is more looked at.
Either way, this seems like an excessively petty thing to argue over IMO. There are definitely people on Grobbulus who do care about having both factions around. To think otherwise is not really understanding the population and instead thinking that every player has the same preferences and desires, and that’s just not correct or open-minded for that matter.
