Update Rarity Scale

[caster.]

Support, in general.
I personally think the tags should be skewed; when a VC is closer to an UC than VRs are to each other you know you've got a problem.
A system like:
EC extreme common- 1/2 users
SC super common- 1/5 users
VC very common- 1/10 users
C common- 1/25 users
UC uncommon- 1/50 users
R rare- 1/100 users
VR very rare- 1/250 users
SR super rare- 1/500 users
ER extreme rare- 1/1000 users
It would change the definition of common, but right now the lower rarities just aren't hard enough to get to make a big deal out of differentiating them.

Yes!

I support half of this. But keep the lower rarities.

But they should definitely give a UR it's own rarity.

Why should a UR get its own rarity when some URs (like the apple) are worth less

Because it would give them a base value. And keep things like the Kirin and Mallow from being given unreasonable price.

No different than the value on the Moonswirl and Non tag being given different values. But it would also differ them from the Urs. Which would help new users understand the value of their pets and not get ninja traded on the 18th.

I’m sorry but this is incredibly confusing. Are you talking about rarity tags or value? Moonswirl and non tag have the same rarity tag so not sure what you are meaning by what you said. Your mention of keeping people from being ninja traded sounds more like you want a UR symbol or something so people know they have a UR. I guess your whole thought processes is just very confusing to me. Even if the URs had their own rarity that would not stop people from giving a pet a high value.

If you merged all common rarities just because valued pets are a bigger part of trading it'd be unfair to collectors or those who prefer to stay on the lower valued end of trading. I say this as more of a rare+ collector myself; I don't enjoy trading less valuable stuff near as much as higher valued stuff but skewing the site just for trading alone is crappy. Not everyone even likes to trade to begin with. The current common rarity system is simple and works; if you erased the differing rarities you'd have to go by dates alone which can be a little complicated..

I support this

no support.

we had merged commons before, and imo the separation of the lower rarities helped a lot with the trading system. as others have said, merging the lower rarities would make it less enjoyable for light trading - if they even do so - and I believe merging it again would only complicate matters.

i agree with this, sorry :(

I support for adding more rarities
I do not support for merging lower rarities

No support from me.

Unless there was an addition of another rarity between the R/OMGSR categories, I don't see a reason for this to happen. Neither to merge lower rarities, like other users above have stated. I think a bigger and more complex rarity system would work better as there is a huge variety of pets with different amounts in circulation, some bordering between rarities, such as a VR on the border of becoming an OMGSR. Plus, it's a fit that we have OMGSR and OMGSC at both ends of the scale. It appeals to me in a weird sort of way.
