what we really need as an indicator of NA players are NA guilds, rather than another poll
not everyone is gonna vote in a poll, as proved by my poll thread, but most players are going to join a guild
there would preferably be at least 8-10 dominant guilds on the server, but ideally there would be more guilds and enough players to populate them
2 EU horde raiding guilds
2 NA horde raiding guilds
2 EU alliance raiding guilds
2 NA alliance raiding guilds
1 horde PvP guild, if none of the other horde guilds also PvP
1 alliance PvP guild, if none of the other alliance guilds also PvP
this way, if you don't like the way a raiding guild is ran or if the requirements are too harsh for you, you can join the other guys instead; in short, you can have a choice other than being guildless this way
you can always do PvP though, even if you're guildless, and if you get into that WSG/AB/AV queue or are doing WPvP, they have no choice but to play with you to at least some extent
either way, don't use this as an indicator of the amount of NA players, instead take the amount of registered forum members and divide it by a number between 1.25 and 4, depending on optimism
