The most underplayed class?

In order (my opinion of course, based on nothing but obs) from least played to most:

Rit
Mesmer
Paragon
Sin
Monk
Derv
Ranger
Necro
Ele
War dervs more common than monks? idk what you're obsing, but the current meta is more like:

paragon
dervish
assassin

necromancer
mesmer
elementalist

ritualist
ranger
monk
warrior

i kinda grouped them into tiers. for example, elementalists aren't necessarily more common than mesmers, but they're definitely more common than paragons and less common than monks.

Rit more popular that necro and ele? More than derv and sin? Idk man.. you say you made your list based on obsing, but idk anymore. have you looked at slot 8 of pretty much every team? its a rt/w or rt/p runner like 90% of the time.
necros and eles are common on midline but you don't see one of those professions on every team like you do with monks, rangers, wars, and rits.
dervs and sins are nonexistent.

dervs and sins are nonexistent. talking about pve. this is the campfire bro

oh, you must have been talking about that pve obs. I meant my eyes. They also observe things surprisingly.

Ritualist. Definitely. We need a buff bad.

At least mesmers got those cryer builds for farming and they have a niche in the PvP scene.

Rits got nothing much on both sides but i love em and they're fun to play. Not much use though haha.

They also look cool well, as a Rit you can successfully be a very very great cryer, just use attuned, and ghostly haste and you can be a very very effective cryer with amazing e-management, also i would never say rit is the most under-played class, smokin rox if you think otherwise, granted they're not as popular as monks and sins, i use my 600 rit to run kathandrax, SoO, UW, FoW, and CoF, as well as many other people, as 600 rit is massively faster than 600 monking, also i take a break from my RoJ or bip very often and use my rit as a cryer, as stated above, or FS for vsf'ing, just goto umbral grotto and take a look at how many Rt/Me /// Rt/R's are there. also for pve in general(questing/missions), in my opinion rit makes the best MM, spawning power ftw, i use an "Asuran Summonmancer" i jack up spawning power, with explosive growth, boon of creation, vanguard sin, summon ice imp, and of course the minions(vamp,golem, and bone minions). the spell that summons two minions, really pwns mobs because of explosive growth, dealing about 180 dmg combined. i would say, the most underplayed class for Pve, would be paras, basically because i find them completely useless, unless they're a secondary to a necro for bip, otherwise there is just much much better options. for pvp i would say para's again, atleast that's what i've noticed, i rarely have the opportunity to destroy spear chuckers.

sorry for the wall of text!

lol i see more Sins then wars. Yeah indeed, I think the Underworld Speedclear or just only the Perma Sin farming made this character very popular

All of them are alts.(for farming)

The price of runes is perhaps the best measure ... Everything else is just speculation. That is probably as close an answer as you can get.

Now, since this is just the result of the number of runes sold to the vendor versus those purchased, it also includes runes purchased for heroes. This is huge these days and you can hardly draw accurate conclusions about players as a result. For every 1 player charater there are at least 3, but more likely 6-8 fully runed heroes. They are the greater part of the economy.

Also averaging all the minors/majors/sups together isn't the best method either. If there is a class/build where majors or sups are favored, their value will be inflated compared to the # of people playing, because sups are in shorter supply than minors.
