[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4932958, member: 48965"] This is correct but it is not the only factor in play... the fact that a few to many may have not joined the group yet is also a factor that skews the numbers as well. The fat that a brand new class was introduced this month (thus creating a more likely time for people to restock on Dragon/Dungeon/CB and grab the Monster Builder)... In other words what I am saying is that when the skewing factors are taken in combination they create a wide variance. You seem to think these things only happen in isolation...and they don't. Now if the counter adjusts dependent upon whether a members subscription is active or not, then we are definitely getting a better overall estimate. This makes no sense unless you know how the counter works... otherwise those people will eventually show up in the number of subscribers (and may even be represented disproportionately due to such things as the assassin class and monster builder showing up in a particular month), again if the number adjusts then all of this is accounted for and an even steady number would be reached at a certain point. If it doesn't then the data is useless. Hey, how did I know something dismissive would show up soon (even though I've stuck to logic)... whatever man. [/QUOTE]
