The Rarity Trade Guide

[Evils]

It seems like virtually everyone I've seen vote or post is on board with adding URs to this list, with store pets being the main source of discussion.

I'm wondering if maybe we should do a poll to get a clearer idea of opinions? Something like?

How would you like store pets to be treated in relation to this list?
1. I would like store pets to be added in to the main body of this list only.
2. I would like store pets to be added in to the main body of this list and also have a separate section within this list thread explaining more about their worth.
3. I would like store pets to be left off the main body of this list but have a separate list comparing their rarity and explaining their worth compared to regular pets within this list thread.
4. I would like store pets to be left off this list entirely but have a separate list comparing their rarity and explaining their worth on a thread separate from this one.

Maybe in the future/after this one is finished?

I personally feel like those are great poll questions!
Seeing that store pets are in such high discussion, I feel like having a poll for them next would be great.

I'd say we definitely need to ask about the specifics for the store pets next

[Zetirian]

I agree with that. More knowledge for users to make their own trading system is always a plus.

I noticed a few people commenting that they want trading vales, is this list going to try to break down pets values like the rares list did? I thought it was just going to be a guide with rough groupings showing of what pets changed rarity around the same times, with pets that have never changed rarity being assessed according to their age and information regarding their adoption period (eg the galaxies were available for 2 months)? Did I misunderstand and you're actually going to create values such as the gaps list?

[Sinbreaker]

I don't have the specifics for the future but absolutely no gap list. That's what made trading so dang difficult.

[lil rascal]

Oh good, I agree the gaps list was the worst part of the list

Oh good, I agree the gaps list was the worst part of the list

oh my gosh yes that gaps list is horrid! Dx

It makes list trading like talking to a brick wall. Even though the guide wasnt supposed to be taken as "law", a majority of the CS community did just that unfortunately.

Agreed for sure. No gaps list. No arbitrary value placed on gaps between rarities. It's not an exact science that can be calculated and it shouldn't be. It ruined trading and enabled people to grossly undervalue quantity.

I think that older store pets should be considered because I don't think that they get rereleased meaning that the number of them is set and with the number of people on cs growing all the time that ratio of pets to users is getting bigger over time, whereas the new ones, while similarly rare the newer ones have a much bigger ratio and could be on the lower end of the scale. Also, leaving them for a while means that demand can be mitigated. The pps store cheater was so highly adopted that it became rare, but over time it will get rarer again as people move on from wanting it or have it by that point

I agree with this. I am a bit curious as to what people consider to be "older" store pets. Just the ones in 2009? I personally see the ones from 2009-2012 as "old" but I can see how that could be subjective. Although ideally as time went on I guess all store pets will be considered old at some point lol
