Arena PvP being prioritized over PvE? WHY?!?

#0 - Sept. 11, 2009, 2:55 p.m.

Before I go any further, I want to make sure the information I am going on is accurate, and that I understand it correctly.

Q u o t e:
http://www.realmhistory.net/arena-statistics/class-breakdown.html

In this section you are able to see the class distribution breakdown in each bracket, worldwide. The percentage is graphically displayed to the right in blue tiles.

2000+ Bracket
2v2 Players = 5983
3v3 Players = 8853
5v5 Players = 808
Total = 15644

Is this right? Is the number of people playing Arena PvP at the 2000+ level really less than 16,000? Out of 11,000,000 subscribers? And if the number is even close to accurate, why are PvE concerns being trumped by the concerns of such a miniscule portion of the subscriber population?

When I get some responses clarifying the accuracy of this information and my interpretation of it, I will expound more.

I'll bet you can't wait for that!!!

If you expect us to balance around the most popular way to play the game, then you'd see most of our changes aimed at low level alts and very few end-game raiding tanking changes.

This topic doesn't meaningfully contribute to the kinds of discussions we want to have in these forums.
