Since there is no Census available and of now I am interessted on how to fill my last character slot there is a simple question. What race/profession/gender combo is most uncommon. I can only base that on personal observation, so maybe players who are a bit farther ahead can comment on what they almost never encouter. I feel Norn are by far the rarest race, I almost never encounter them in the Charr or Human 1-25 areas and rarely in WvWvW.
Very common (you see tons of them): - Charr Ranger and Engineer Male - Asura Elementalist Female
Very uncommon (almost never around): - Female Norn (all professions) - Charr Mesmer
Trends (kind of what you would expect races to use as profession) - Human: evenly all professions - Asura: Thief and Elementalist - Norn: ? - Sylvari: Necromancer, Elementalist, Mesmer - Charr: Ranger, Warrior |

lots of norn warriors and guardians..
least overall probably female charr necro.. haven't seen one yet:P I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s FF-XIV. |

When I took my warrior to catland I didnt see any female char mesmer or necros (I rarely saw female chars really). When I went to iceland I didnt see any Norn Female Nerco's, When I went to Grassland I didn't see any Femal Engineers or Male Guardians, and In the Human place I saw everything a lot and just like in the place where I live Femals outnumbered males by lots.

Norn are all over the place on Jade Quarry. Charr are the rarest race by far. Mesmer anything is the rarest though. Its almost a dead class it seems.

Originally posted by Fendel84M problem I have with charr is playing feels slow because of their size.. but even my Norn feels faster animation wise(not running but just overall combat animations) than the charr.. i dunno if it's just me but I'm sure this turns some people off to them I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.

Maybe another reason why big characters are less popular is, people think they are easier to kill in PvP. A small Asura might hide n a bush while casting or even hide in the crowd, a Charr will always stand out and be a direct target if an ability requires an selected one.

Originally posted by Aerowyn I have to agree, their running feels very slow. I think a lot of that is because its on four legs so it should be really fast but its even slower looking due to their size. My Charr Elementalist is the smallest size so its a little better looking. |

There are no racial passives right? Only the active skills, so there is no benefit playing huge bulky Norn Warrior over a tiny Asura one, only downsides in regards of hitbox, subjective movement speed and stealth options. To be honest that is the reson I choose my guardian to be a human female, she is much less obvious on the battlefield than a huge Charr. There should be some logigal racials that fit the lore and make the larger races a bit more attractive without screwing balance, something like. (I am aware that I am going a bit in WoW territory here, but giving the Tauren a general 5% hitpoint racial was a logical and reasonable thing to to to make them an attractive choise). Charr: 5% higher hitpoints Norn: 3% higher armor Sylvari: 5% less damge from magic Asura: 3% higher dodge chance Human: 5% less damage from projectiles Something like this, anything that makes up for the risks of being big and bulky in PvP...

Im on Jade Q also. I see a decent anount of Norns, Asurans and of course Humans. Charr do tend to be heavy on the engineer and ranger professions. Although I think mesmer comes in third for Charr.

MMORPGs are no longer about the mass multi-user anymore *sadly* |

Surprise, there is a census website, however, this is a very small dataset but still interessting: http://gw2census.com/charts.php?pie=total÷=charrace http://gw2census.com/charts.php?pie=total÷=charprofession Professions are evenly distributed, races not so much. By this data Female Charr Mesmer is by far the most uncommon combination, while Human Male Mesmer is the most common. |
