wow Official WoW X Account Poll on Preferred Player Activity

[Staff 1,410]

Here's an interesting poll run by the official World of Warcraft Twitter/X account, asking players which activity "defines" their main character. 

The choices were pretty limited, but raiding and Mythic+ came out ahead by quite a bit, at least for the around 15,000 players responding.

What activity defines your main?

Collectors, whether its transmog, mounts, achievements, or pretty much anything collectable, didn't really get a slot in the poll, and they seem to be the next largest group going by the comments, and they may even have eclipsed one or more of the given options. There are also some quite specialized players, focusing in on one very unique aspect of the game, such as Gigabear, who we recently saw creating a Godzilla-sized threat over Stormwind.

Probably because the vast majority of casual ppl playing wow do not waist time on "twitter" ...

So the pool was mostly done on semi to hard core wow players.

Why is it no matter what the information is, people like you always wanna justify why the information cant be correct.. And just because you dont do anything on Twitter, it doesn't mean the vast majority of other people dont either. Get with the times.. better yet, stop making stupid replys. For the record, It doesn't take many brain cells to understand that the majority of  WoW players fall into the Raid/M+ catatgory. Rep/RP/Professions are niche portions of the game..I am surprized that PvP isnt higher. The game is built around end game content so it stands to reason that players who do Raid/M+..

I'd have to go with Antimagic on this. Regardless of the social/WoW news platform, hardcore players like raiders are more likely to be following WoW news, updates etc. Casuals are just that...casual. They don't care about the latest DPS graphs, best gear, best class, yada yada.

I gotta say I can't follow that logic. Twitter use isn't really correlated with... well anything. If you asked me I'd say casuals are more likely to be on twitter/social media platforms, but I'm probably wrong in thinking that too. I don't really see hardcore raiders/M+ players voting on twitter polls to a higher extent than anyone else - whether or not you use social media is a very personal thing. And if you do use it and play Wow, you're very likely following the WoW account. From there it's just 1 click to vote.

Just generally though the results didn't really surprise me at all, it was exactly as I was expecting/agree with (and you could definitely classify me as a casual too).
