The answer to which is already in the question. What I find ironic though, is he claims its for the developers at Funcom’s benefit to give this information out. As if they don’t actually have the information. Which they do. They even know what attributes people are using as well as other metrics. Funcom has all the information they want to have. They just won’t share it because like I said, its proprietary information. Just like tiny won’t share the name of the group he works with, the name of the project, and its actual stats. (probably is fibbing, as many like to do on the Internet, but if he’s not, then he’s not going to give such information out unless they are some lone indie developer who isn’t beholden to stakeholders, superiors, or producers).
So the literal reason why anyone would ask for this stuff is to either justify their way of playing. Or to make accusations to why their way of playing isn’t popular. When we already have the answer to all that already. People play vanilla or modded because they want to. They play PVE, PVE-C, and PVP because they want to. Its as simple as that.
Adjusting the belief towards anything else will simply make your experience worse as I said. Human beings are social creatures. They have a bad habit of wanting to feel like they belong to a group, even at their own detriment. These usage stats aren’t needed by the players and they would only misuse them to their own misery.
