WOW Review after almost 1 Year

[fractaled]

These people make up significant numbers; for example, nearly 2/3 of Carpe Aurum fall into one of these two categories.  If that proportion were to carry across the population as a whole, it means you'd be looking at 360k out of 667k, or around 50%.

You raise a good point. One wow census has 4m characters (higher than level 10), 900k of them at level 60 (only counting the US and EU servers). If each account has 2 characters on average (this is probably low), that means 45% of the people playing have a level 60. (I'll assume that the % of people with two 60s is low). That still means the raiding population is only 40% of the level 60 population. (And if you look at the numbers I previously mentioned in a pessimistic light, then maybe only 10% of the level 60 population).
