Run a good race

Here's something I've been pondering on: Who's the most popular race on World of Warcraft?
Well as is often the case on the Internet, one need only ask:


Well there certainly a lot of surprises here. Whilst the high ranking of the Blood Elves isn't a surprise the fact they aren't the most popular race of all is. So humans are the most payed huh? I guess it makes sense considering the familiarity (it is, after all, humans playing this game) but then again, the humans in Azeroth are quite frequently portrayed as complete jerks - but then again who isn't a jerk in this fricking game?
Also of note is how many of the other races ended up with some the older ones - Dwarves, Gnomes, Orcs and Trolls - all being outpaced by the more recent arrivals. One kinda gets the impression that when the new race arrived a whole lot of Race/Faction changing happened XD

Conversely there aren't many surprises within the Class table but the least popular Classes are interesting to note. What, no one likes the Shamen? I find that interesting seeing as the other "mixed" classes (Druid and Paladin) are both at the other end of the spectrum.

Still it should be noted that this screen cap was taken before the release of Mists of Panderia. So it may be interesting to see how the presence of the Pandarians and the Monks will shape these charts in future...
