"free glad" narrative with some stats

As season is ending, here are some stats for the curios minds.

As of today, here is the list of PvP seasons more inflated than Midnight S1:

- BfA S1
- BfA S4
- Shadowlands S1
- Shadowlands S2
- Dragonflight S1
- Dragonflight S4
- The War Within S3
- The War Within S4

I don't have proper stats for the seasons before. If someone has it, please link.

Currently,

39% of the accounts above 2000 control 85% of characters above 2000

19% of the accounts above 2400 control 71% of the characters above 2400

40% of the accounts above 2700 control 90% of the characters above 2700

Currently there are 3800 glads on EU and 4600 on US

Around 12% of accounts above 2300 have glad achievement for this season. While this may seem like a huge number, it actually shows how small the 3s community is when stats above are considered. This indicates a big problem for the future of the 3s and it is very concerning.

This season is not one of the most inflated seasons of all time stats indicate the opposite.

As always, glad is not free and is a big achievement, especially for the first time glads.

Stats are from various sites but mainly drustvar.
