The list ?

[All Might]

Soo.. I've been out of loop for a while, I know there was quite a bit of rarity changes.
And such but also lots of word on the rares list being obsolete and gone?

Could someone please explain?

Was it because of the rarity changes or just how long it's been standing?

A while ago, there was a community vote regarding the list and what should happen to it. The winning vote was to retire it, and there was lots of reasons for this decision, a decision that was made by the community. I definitely won't be able to express all of the reasonings behind the list being retired, as there were a lot of reasonings behind this, though the major reason I've seen as to why it should've been retired was because of how outdated it was and how it was ran. I've seen a common feeling surrounding the thread while the vote was still going that the thread was too toxic, and people felt like they couldn't express their own opinions about certain things as they otherwise would've had their opinions negated into oblivion. As it was, it was very outdated, and there were a lot of pets missing from the list, and a lot of things that should've been updated, but never were. Likewise, updating everything would've taken far too long - it already took a lot of time just to move/add a pet to the list.

Frankly, I agree that the thread itself needed to be retired. Not just because I no longer agree with how it was ran, but because not only did this give a opportunity for lots of new guides to appear, but also because we now have the option to not follow the discontinued list, as it's no longer treated as law - that's another common feeling I've seen among the opinions in that thread.

There's a lot of reasonings behind this, but I believe those were some of the main reasons behind the majority vote. Note how I said "some" - there were a lot more!

@セレビィ

thank you; You did a fabulous job of simply going through it... I sometimes feel I've been here too long to try to keep track. But I was aware the list was treating as law..... Law that heavily simply relied on feelings. I can understand where toxicity would come from.. And also how hard it was to get onto it.
Heck, even hard to trade down with it incidentally.

Out with the old in with the new!

I do agree that the list needed to be retired but after it was, I got a tier 5 pet which wasn’t really worth anything list wise. I do agree that some people did think the list was like a law that you had to follow which was some what annoying. I would sometimes use the list to give me a base idea of what to offer on list pets but I never really followed it that much. It was always fun for me to go back to the retired list thread and see what tier a particular pet would be because I would have to sometimes search for it and I’d get to see all the other cool list pets and add them to my dreamies.
