I can see one potentially massive source for error in this survey. What if whatever group did the survey posted it on Reddit or 4chan? It would certainly explain why Gilgamesh got 2-5 times as many responses as every other server on the survey.
Also, what about multiple submissions? I'm not putting much stock in these numbers.
I don't see this as being an issue, since players would make up just a small percent of the overall population of the world. Behind the scenes should be whole communities we don't see because the world has to be shrunk down to be playable from a game development perspective. It's not unreasonable to think that Ul'dah, Gridania, and Limsa would support a community of thousands of people. It is unreasonable in that building that sort of world would take a massive development effort in both time and money that would add little to nothing to the gameplay for the average player.

Doesn't huge numbers of Miqote above everyone else sort of undermine the lore of the game itself?
Not saying that the survey is correct.
