7mil in China isn’t huge.
That’s probably just 3 apartment blocks
Give me the actual statistics on this.
We literally have everyone from all races and creeds playing this game.
“OH NO THE GAME IS ONLY CHINESE!”
Uh-huh, where is your proof.
Twitter?
Nope.
70% of retail player are Chinese is pretty likely, but that’s not saying 70% of players on the NA servers are Chinese. China has its own servers, with most of the Chinese players congregated there.
So is there a point to this inane post, or are you just openly racist OP?
Explain how a website that uses the armory API isn’t accurate. Explain to me how wowprogress isn’t accurate.
This is just plain old trolling at this point and I won’t respond to more of your bait.
“This site tells us the actual numbers, so it is true”
Please, quit embarrasing yourself.
You do know a lot of sites uses the BlizzardAPI, doesn’t mean it is all accurate either.
As I said, people have alts, people may also have alts in different guilds. But hey, alts in your head means it is a different person.
You aren’t wrong, but he did explain earlier that similar situation would be happening in WoD as well, so the numbers would be comparable despite the issue of alts.
Your scenario that suggests a meaningful number of players could be raiding in other guilds at the same time COULD ALSO HAPPEN IN WoD. In fact, it’s MORE likely to have happened in WoD because there was NOTHING TO DO BUT RAID.

Maybe look at his comment there more closely:
PVP Must of not existed, leveling alts must of not existed, doing what ever dailies there was must of not existed, Farming Mats must of not existed, etc.
He’s saying there’s no M+, no other end game. Alts, pvp, dailies, and farming exists now, which means they essentially cancel themselves out as a factor.

lol…
Garrisons filled your bags with so many mats that raid feasts were sold by the thousands on the AH for 4 gold each.
Considering China makes 1/5th of the World population, I don’t see the oddity of it. And probably with a strong gamer community vs other nations.
Also, information of Blizz internal numbers leaked through a ‘site’ yea…
Hmmmmm. Is that really an accurate statement?
At the time, I was on Shadowsong. There was not thousands of feast on the AH.
We had a guy named Junox in our raid and he put down over 400 feasts in one night. I remember this because our officers were telling him to stop wasting feasts. He said “they’re 4 gold each who cares”.
I checked, he wasn’t joking. There was no “farming” of mats in WoD; your Garrisons farmed everything and you went there and clicked a box, it took seconds to farm mats in WoD.
Are you going to be contrarian about this fact as well? Arguing for the sake of arguing?
1 person =/= Thousands of others. Not everyone does the same thing as everyone else.
Okay.
Are you seriously that bald?
I am me. Nobody else in this game is me. As I said, 1 person =/= Thousands of others.
You think they were only 4 gold each in the AH, I was crafting, vendoring and selling stuff on the AH, on an almost dead server, where prices were a little higher. Not all prices are the same on every server.
Just the same as not everyone chose to raid in WoD, or chose to do some PVP in WoD either.
You’re not going to listen to reason.
Can confirm OP’s theory. As the only remaining Retail player, and being 70% chinese, this is verifiable.

Because you’re not listening to what I am saying?
Also, if you want to know what I say that it is not accurate, because it is counting by toon, not player.
What you don’t realize is that Wrath didn’t launch until August 2010 in China. Early WoW had delayed releases in China because of the work involved censoring everything. Source www.vg247[dot]com/2010/08/24/wrath-of-the-lich-king-hits-china-on-august-31/ So LFG was well underway by then and likely not a ‘Chinese feature.’ LFG is fine and not the reason for WoW’s decline.
Seriously I have played since Vanilla, been quoted by GC on beta forums, never been banned from the game once, and still can’t post links??? Social engineering at its dumbest.
