Every class by share of players

Every player you pass makes these numbers better
The counts above come from players who run the PatchVault addon. While you play it quietly notes the players you target, pass or group with: their class, race, level and faction, never a name. Everyone mostly meets their own side, so each side is only counted as well as it has people scanning.
The addon counts on its own; the desktop app sends what it saw while you play. No app? Type /pv in the game and paste the line on My characters.
