We need your feedback on an update to the rarity system!

[Highland]

My question is, and sorry if this has already been asked- store pets are at the very least, always rare when rarities come out. Would adding four more rarities alter that?

I'm still against adding four more as I personally think it would cause more confusion and make trading even more complicated. I think adding one or two more would be better than adding four. It would still help sort pets out further, but it wouldn't be as confusing or complicated. Going back to my previous statement, adding four more rarities I think would deter newbies away from the site. The site alone can be overwhelming to navigate when you first join, and having an abundance of rarities could cause them to think its not worth it. Additionally, I still believe it's not the rarity system that's the problem, its the demand pushing, the overpricing of pets, and the inflation of c$, and a big one is, people using one trade of someone overpaying as "proof" that a pet is "worth" that much.

Overall, the pet and trading problem could be easily fixed by the user base if people would trade fairly and not demand push. Just earlier today I seen some very very overpriced pets, priced double than what they should be -based on years and rarities and how much I normally see them go for-, which is unfortunate. We could fix this issue by just not giving in to demand pushing, not overpaying a huge amount for a pet not worth it. We could start properly pricing our pets. I understand that some (including myself) do value pets higher than their worth, and that is okay, to an extent. Personally the pets I value more, are in locked groups so they cannot be offered on. But valuing a pet double or more than what its worth and expecting people to feel the same, isn't fair imo. If someone values the pet the same way, thats different, but I know a lot of people that cannot get pets they want, simply because they are overpiced and overvalued.

I hope I didn't sound rude at all. Just trying to share my opinion!

I think adding the 4 new rarities would be the best option!

Oh that's a great idea, I think they should add rarity to items too, because some like me who doesn't know item worth, that would be EXTREMELY helpful.

Thats a bummer, I think it would be a great future addition to the game, and it would definitely be helpful to new players

It's not cause they don't want to, but rarity on items can't be done due to the way items are programmed. They don't have unique IDs like pets. The item system would have to be overhauled, and Nick is still the only programmer (and I believe it's still more of a volunteer position than anything).

CS is about online collecting. It has grown over the 15-16 years.
For some of us, collecting is serios. There is real money involved.

If you only have a few levels, that leaves a LOT of gray areas.
Look at sports cards, they have 10 or more grade levels.
Coin grading has 30 levels. Stamps have 15 grade scales.
The more levels, the more accurate the trading will be.

And every serious collector has to like organizing.
Organizing is a huge part of the fun, and it can be a challenge.
You can be causal and not organize, or go all out.

There are over 13,000 different pets on CS.
Say there are @70 OMGSR pets and 1000 Very Rare pets, that a big gap!
With an Extremely Rare, there might be @50 OMGSR, 325 ER and 700 VR.
You'll really know that OMGSR UR pet really is rarer than that ER "Non"-pet.

Then the economy will determine their values.
Will an OMGSR be worth 2 ER and 4 VR?
Or will and OMGSR be wort 1.5x ER and 3x VR?

I'm a collector, I'm excited for this,
As are over 60% surveyed, which is overwhelming compared to the alternat choices.

made a couple different gold bars and the pearly one. I'm not really sure these would fit though so someone else may have to make some gold ones.
