I think Census data (bar chart) is very hard to read, would be prettier if it provided numbers or at least percentages. Here are some data based on Census scan (6-Dec-15, peak period) on 60 level distribution:
Horde:
1. Warrior 21.1%
2. Mage 16.8%
3. Rogue 15.8%
4. Warlock 11.6%
5. Priest 10.5%
6. Shaman 10.5%
7. Hunter 9.5%
8. Druid 4.2%
Alliance:
1. Warrior 17.0%
2. Mage 17.0%
3. Rogue 15.1%
4. Hunter 14.2%
5. Priest 12.3%
6. Paladin 12.3%
7. Warlock 8.5%
8. Druid 3.8%
Couple of observations:
- On both sides Warriors, Mages and Rogues account for roughly 50% of 60 level population.[/il]
- Vanilla is hard on druids
- Warrior is most popular class on the Horde and mages keep on par with warriors on Alliance side. I think it is due horde races brutal appearance that dictates to smash faces
- Hunter is not so populated on Horde, however holds top 4 position for Alliance. Mainly due to most popular Horde race (Undead) inability to roll a hunter. Also NE hunters do look neat
- Warlock is out of the loop for alliance players due to mostly their unwillingness to fight with mass of undead players and their WoF
