Blizz posted a summary of their success and it got me thinking. 3.9 MM demon hunters is actually really low. That means that in the pre patch only 3.9MM people created DHs. Sure there are people that did not preorder, and those that did not even create a demon hunter but did preorder legion. But by any reasonable stretch this number should be fairly low as compared to the percent of players that had the ability to make a DH. Given that other regions could make DHs, that implies that during the prepatch time, sub numbers were not rebounding like Blizz claimed. They claimed the orders of the game were similar to past expansions. That seems highly unlikely given only 3.9MM DHs. In fact, it would seem like it was way down in subs.
