A /who returns a sample of currently-visible online players (server-capped ~50), not a census.
Each bar counts unique characters — one per normalized character name + realm — so a faction that received more scans does not gain share from the extra scans alone. A character seen several times in a day still counts once.
Characters are not human players/accounts; a rename appears as a new character. Companion to the MarketLens addon.
