Im a very casual player. I may raid once a month, if that, or a nightfall twice a month. The first few weeks of the April update had me in the CoE, but as friends move on and this game becoming a bit stale I play very little. Tuesday I knocked out the heroic strikes, dailies, and got my sterling packages. I also decided to run crota solo. After beating him, I thought about the setting of this game and remembered that Ive thought of this numerous times, how many guardians are there? Not the number of players active, but based on the story. The tower is limited, patrols are limited, raids are limited, everything has a relatively small limit on players in one instance. I understand its to prevent lag, but it also leads to the feeling that our numbers are few. I think this was intended.
Anyway, I beat crota and felt very op doing so, and it was good. I like feeling op from time to time. The latest update brought some great improvements to the supers in pve that help with that feeling, but we are still missing some things.
As a rather small group of guardians holding off countless foes on many fronts, we should be a bit op. Especially in the easier content. Maybe we already are and this is all an illogical rant, but I cant get past it. One solution I can see and would greatly appreciate, is bringing back elemental primaries. With the current meta, they would be some sweet icing on the cake for the pve players.

I too wondered the same thing but I couldn't find an answer anywhere
-
I would say about a couple thousend
-
-
Millions, we are Guardians.
-
6 that's why more don't show up to kill a taken god like oryx.
-
Find out then divide by three and you will have your answer, hunters are the only real guardians!

20. 4 lagged out in Iron Bann--wait there was no Iron Banner. 24 it is then.
-
Enough to produce that heap of dead Ghosts in the Cabal arena in the Challenge of the Elders without completely crippling the Tower, so I'd guess a couple thousand
-
Elemental primaries shortened the list of viable PvE weapons significantly so probably won't be returning or if it does will probably be more for select exotic weapons like the supercell. What I would like to see them bring back is Fatebringer. Make it exotic, it could be a quest that requires vault of glass. They can even drop the element, I just want my Fatebringer lol.

Well, let's see... assuming they all live in the Tower, and there are suitable eating and sleeping facilities for all of them. Call it about a 200-story building, with 150 of it set aside for player quarters, the rest for food, entertainment, and admin. Allow for a generous 200 Guardians per floor, and you've got about 30,000.
-
An educated guess would leave me thinking around 100,000
-
Over 9000! [spoiler]someone had to do it[/spoiler]
-
At least twelve

7777777
-
300. No doubt in my mind.
-
A shit-load

-
Probably a couple thousand. At best around 10,000.
