Well, any poll is a relatively small portion of the population. The biggest problem with this poll, I think, is that nobody has actually played their chosen classes. When I first looked at WoW I was really pullin' druid. Well, once I played I realized it wasn't at all what I was looking for that I thought I had found through the general description.

Personally, I don't think population is going to be that big a deal. If you're good at your class and you get a reputation as such finding groups shouldn't be a big issue. Early level dungeons should be pretty lax on character requirements (by which I mean to say you shouldn't x, y, and z classes for sure and then fill in the other 3 slots with whatever... a broader setup should work fine), and by the time you get to end-game dungeons running PUGs probably isn't going to be your first choice, nor should it really be necessary if it's a decently active guild. I mean, I'm looking at sorcerer, ranger, and gladiator, 3 classes that I can almost guarantee will have high relative populations. However, I'm confident enough in my abilities as a gamer that it doesn't really bother me. I would almost rather play the overpopulated class so I can set myself above the standard and in that way be in demand personally. Even if there are a ****ton of rangers, everyone wants a good ranger, not just any old pick up.
