| I've never understood why my dropped bar (currently 47 entries) is longer than my completed bar (316). Call me crazy but I'd like the bars to represent the actual numbers and not make it seem like I've dropped more series than I've watched. Where does the site pull the lengths anyway? Did the staff just decide that one stat will be more emphasised than other or are our stats being compared to other users' and adjusted to reflect the difference from the average? Anyway, let's hear your jokes opinions: yay, nay, don't care? |
| It's compared to the average of all MAL users And honestly why the hell would you want them numerically scaled anyway? In that case your completed bar would always be fifty times longer than your watching bar, making the latter almost non-existent |

When I look at a profile, I'm not interested about how the user compares to some calculated average, I'm interested in them specifically. But hey, if I'm in the minority with this that's fine. I just wanted to bring the matter up to discussion :) |
Shinimiras said: Well in that case just look at the numbers? It says right there how many series they're watching, how many they've completed etcetera. If the stat bars were numerically scaled like you want, they'd convey the exact same information as the numbers already do.
