Just out of curiosity, how many members do each class have? This is an non-stats valid observation, within my own Soldier community I think Breyzy is essentially the one person holding the entire place up. That includes myself who occasionally bounces off the internet weeks at a time too. I wonder if it's pretty much the same situation with every group?
Entirely agree with taking away masculine/feminine sorting, consider that was the one I found far to subjective to give a good answer. I like the thinker/feeler one, though "stoic thinker" might be a bit much?
While I love Ashe, I agree that she's not really a soldier. I personally think Cecil's class is more Paladin, but Ramza and Zack? Yes please. I'm inclined to say avoid going for a perceived "personality", as each community itself will be made out of range of people with various personalities anyway.
The UA one is an interesting one - up until now I thought of the other communities being the "side game" of UA being the main thing! I'm quite new at all this, but I wonder if that's telling a bit. Keep in mind that I do go to all of the communities too! Assume I don't have to run off again for the third game (LOL exam period), I certainly would like to participate in UA.
Liking the idea of bonus for all sortings too.
What else... Oh, I am the one for Dragoon + Knights, because in my mind I already sort people accordingly. I also personally found Cecil more a Dragoon+Knight, but not really one or another.
I think that, instead of looking at the teams as a whole, we also need to look at the active members for each team as a truer indicators of actual level. If you take a member out, how well does that team stand up?
The Game 2 gil spreadsheet gives a pretty good indication of how many active members each team had last game. The Soldier team does have the smallest number of highly active members so the thing you're observing is the most accented in the Soldier comm, but generally it IS true for most teams that a single highly active person accounts for a significant portion of the points. It's just that most other teams have 2-3 members like this.
Maybe just have Rational/Thinking vs. Emotional/Feeling? Would that work better?
About UA, that's interesting... When I made this comm, I wanted there to be five activity types (sorting, contests, minigames, fanworks, and social), not really equal in terms of points but equal in terms of status as centers of different types of activities. I think in a larger comm with more members, more points would actually be earned in FFMG rather than UA, but we're kind of tiny so that hasn't really happened.
I like thinking vs feeling better, because "rational" don't seem like a very neutral description imo?
The Gil sheet is very telling indeed. Yes, we are held together by the Breyzy!
Now looking at the five comms, I've made a friends filter for that. Hopefully I'll check it more often and actually start to participate in how I should!
Would "logical" work better (I mixed up my adjectives there) or still the same? The thing I worry about for just thinking vs. feeling is that unless you're familiar with MBTI, it might be easy for people to not understand what this dichotomy refers to because "thinking" as a word is kind of vague/ambiguous.

Thanks for the feedback/thoughts. :)
