Regardless of how many people responded, this survey is statistically invalid. Since the study relied on voluntary response, it automatically becomes biased. This is due to the fact that when a survey is solely composed of voluntary response answers, people who tend to have a stronger opinion will take the survey whereas others who fall towards the middle of the spectrum tend to not take it. So, while it may be interesting to see the results, they are most likely inaccurate in some way, shape, or form, if not biased.

More pertinently, people who don't seek out WoW information would remain unaware of the poll's existence. These players would almost certainly skew the average wealth results further downward. Still, it's in interesting exercise and provoked a discussion.
