Interesting site. I know it's not representative of the entire GW playerbase, but the numbers sampled here are at least significant for the slight more narrow category of European(German?) players of GW who also frequent GW fansites...
Some interesting things I noticed...
Warrior is the only class for which there's larger number of male characters than female. (Gary Stu vs. Blow-up doll?)
Monk is probably the most numerous farming class (it's only third place as most popular primary char but first place under most played class).
More people have the grind/PvE skills titles maxed (Sunspear/Lightbringer/Rep) than they have finished campaigns (Eternal Hero of X)... which makes me fear that GW2 will cater more to these pro-grind-for-perks type people.
HM titles are rare (Vanquisher, Guardian)... so it's not just me who don't like playin' in HM. Do many people actually use it for it's intended purpose (to offer fun challenge) rather than for farming? I guess not...
(Note - took me a while to realize, but 1.000 on there actually means 1,000 and not referring to some wierding scaling scheme.)
