[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7563329, member: 6880599"] It not ambiguous and I never said it was. It is exact and concise. Any "ambiguity" was created my desire for something they had no intent on providing. That's not actually ambiguity, its me ignoring their intent and over riding it with my own. My mistake not theirs. That's an inference your manufacturing. It is not a stated intent by them and not possible based off the pure fact that not all characters have subclasses. Measuring something with a delimiter means not needing to mention those without it. If you post "number of wood houses on the block" it is automatic that the number of brick houses are not listed since they don't fit the parameter of the delimiter. The classes and races slide are a total population measurement because they apply to all characters but asking the "Rogue Subclass Distribution (Active Characters)" would only apply to rogues as the delimiter was specified. Your not going to count paladins in that number any more than you would count characters without subclasses in a "Subclass Distribution" since subclass is the delimiter is stated. That is redundant. Subclass it the delimiter so characters without subclass are automatically disqualified. If they had included characters without subclass it would make the numbers inaccurate as you are protesting and require further explanation because it is set out side their stated delimiter. "Subclass Distribution (Active Characters including those without subclass)" I agree, they could have broken down each class only show players with access to all the classes and it would be better information. [B]They did disclaimer that this was a high level view and do every week during those videos[/B]. So it is what we got not what we wanted. Part of your problem with multiclass representation was that you applied a scope out side the delimiter of characters with subclasses looking for a personal goal of all characters being represented in a 1 to 1 ratio to determine what is the most preferred subclass. Multi-classing breaks this because they are counted twice, which is why posted this: But that only matters if your trying to achieve a total popularity vote of a favorite subclass. Which is what you are concerned about and or looking for here: But if your only looking to say if a player picks Class A the most commonly Picked Subclass is B. That is not relevant to the slide. So their intent by title and the scope of the delimiter is not the pool of all character comparison that you want. That does make them wrong. It just means your desire/expectation is not what they are offering. They didn't miss lead you. You just tried to make "Subclass Distribution (Active Characters)" into "Most Popular Class/Subclass combinations (Active single class characters including those without subclass, only from players with access to all classes and subclasses)" which is different poll. Your agreement of what this poll sells itself as is not what it sells itself as but what you want from it that it doesn't provide. [/QUOTE]
