It’s a weighted estimate of the total number of people who want cores removed. The clean number is 65%, but if you add the number that want cores removed AND want more masterwork options, the number goes up to 75%. The other 2.5% are those who want cores to remain. The latter crowd are more active, so I was comfortable using the 2.5%. The former has to be estimated lower since inactive players are harder to reach, even if Bungie announces a change and every streamer and blogger picks up on it, which is very likely on this issue. I then used a baseline engagement number of 500k. This was a little generous, because 1) we don’t know gambit and D1 PvE numbers and 2) engagement has been...erratic since Zero Hour release. Still, PvE engagement got close enough, and 500k is a reasonable benchmark considering we could be over 1 million easily if everyone was happy with the game. If you disagree with any of that, fine, but you should know, I’m trained to poll. I used to do it for national political campaigns. I stand by what I said. EDIT: +/-5 🤓
