Ope doesn’t count all the lvl 19 battleground twinks. Throw out the data its irrelevant.
But the before and after take alts into account. So if more people are alting Hunter now that means even more Hunter mains quit. If less people are alting Hunter now it is still a metric relative to all other alts as well. Also, isn’t one of the big factors to melee SV that people are more willing to alt Hunter now because they didn’t like the ranged specs?
And? What can be inferred from the potential number of inactive players?
Ultimately, unless you can provide sound reasoning as to why all of these factors wouldn’t be similar to what they were in past xpacs, then it turns out to be a wash anyway. Which of these factors would cause the Hunter community to lose significantly more players than the other classes?
Coming from the guy who demanded this:
What a joke.
