[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7796040, member: 6750235"] Let me rephrase. The statistics should be taken with a grain of salt. The 8 member parties look far more skewed than I expected based on the smaller groups and I am more leery of those results than the others because of it. Each group has such a small percentage that we could group a few friends, make an oddball party, and throw them off intentionally if we tried, lol. Being ordered by the hundred thousandth (in the cases beyond 2 decimal points) from a sampling in the thousands does make that pretty clear. It's the data we have either way, with a snap shot at that time. I can only look at what I have, not what I don't have, lol. It's a fair point that it's free, but not showing up in 6 or 7 member parties at all and suddenly 8 member parties doesn't seem to make sense, free or not. ;-) It's not showing in the top 10 group configurations. Other stats given have demonstrated it's still a popular class. That gets back to taking stats with a grain of salt. Wizards, or even monks or bards, could change quite a bit if we looked at more group than the top 10. The percentages show these are a low representation. Many of the group configurations are showing the same percentages. Percent is already per hundred. Taking it to 2 decimal places is per 10,000. I doubt there are 10,000 groups in each of those categories to make that relevant, tbh, but I could be wrong. I'll believe that when I see it. ;-) It's true that wizards don't seem to make the cut for the most common configurations except the classic 4 groups per this list. But that looks like it could change in a day, tbh. It's less of what to expect than a this is what it looks like at this time. It would be nice to know the actual numbers of groups in each category. EDIT: or repeat snap shots at intervals for comparison as well. [/QUOTE]
