Guild Wars 2

First of all, I’m sorry if there are similar posts like this one.

While chatting with some guildies we came across a stalemate. I decided to “register” here and try getting the info from the comunity or maybe from our beloved Devs.

What is the most played class in the game as of now? I’m not sure if we should consider the sheer number of characters of that especific class or the amount of hours that class has in particular. But again any of the above should be more than enough to settle our little Guild Bet

Anyway… If there are similar posts (with oficial and valid information) about this. Can someone link me up?

Thanks

I have 2 silver on Rangers

I see your two silver…

I’m thinking warrior.

I think that for new players the most popular class is ranger, and they use to always prefer longbow, but after they join a guild or learn more about the game they start to hear how weak the longbow auto-atack is and how broken their pets are, so they roll a warrior.

So, for new players is ranger and for more experienced is warrior.

then after a few months of no life, they many would go engineer/mesmer/thief

Warrior or guardian.

Endgame I rarely see rangers.

Guardians/mesmer, (warriors close second to mesmer) no questions asked.

Maybe it is just my server but LA; guardians everywhere. FOTM; guardians everywhere. Orr; no players around. My guild (2xx people) 70% of the people guardians.

Heck, even me which Im a ele main im starting to roll a guradian, since I have noticed how good they actually are and what I have been missing out, sad but those 3 (guard/mesm/war) have become the holy trinity in this game and by now people have caught on.

For a brief moment a considered creating a pool somewhere… Comon sense brought me out of it.

Someone please drag a Dev/Adm/Gm here.

I don’t think this is classified information.

Please ANET I want those 10 silvers!

This is from a year ago, still seems about right…

Hard to say, but probably something like;

Warrior
Guard
Thief
Mesmer
Ele
Ranger
Necro
Engie

Factoring in PvE, PvP, and WvW.

Thanks Munkiman! I was surprised to see Norns and Chars not being favorites. Not to mention Elementalist being the most played class… This helps alot. If ANET really decided to ignore my prayers this will certanly do.

There is a poll thread tackling this very question at

at level 80, guardian won out

Looks like a win for Elementalist…based on both surveys…

We all certainly heard about it when RTL got nerfed…

Can be very loud your average mage…
