Support! I'd love a more specific rarity system.

I do support this, but I think it would be difficult for colorblind users! ;;

Even for non colorblind people, gradients can be hard to see unless the color differences were pretty drastic and noticeable. An orange to red gradient between rare and very rare, for example, would be really hard to notice.

Which is why I think just adding new rarity tiers would be better, because that's more universal. ;;w;

i agree w this. i think its a neat idea, but i also think it would add a lot of debate among users abt what color they actually are and it may be overwhelming for some.

we definitely need to figure out a better way to break down the rarities though for sure.

I think making it so it's not gradients but perhaps shade of light (With colors, but lighter to darker shades) might help those colorblind? Im not colorblind so I honestly would have no idea, but thought I'd throw it out there

Being able to switch the option from color to words should help too. I think adding a couple more rarities would help ''Super Rare'' etc

Updated OP to include that this doesn't necessarily have to be displayed through colors! Also gave it a more accurate title

Wish I could just like this to show support, but support for a version of this!

[TheOakWoods]

support, as long as there’s also a secondary system (ex. values with decimals) for colorblind people

[Aqueous!]

Support! As long as there is colorblind accessibility, I love this idea. It would help trading SO much

[almondkitty]

omg support, i always loved spectrum difficulties/rarities and find them easier to understand

[ShadowKatto]

Support!

[Yomi Aino]

Support any type of more specific rarity system

My concern with this idea is that I'm not really sure how it would help with trading. Currently, a lot of people treat common and below pets pretty similarly, usually grouping them together in how they talk, trade, or price things. If these pets are already treated as essentially being a part of the same or a very similar group, how will adding more rarity tiers be helpful to trading? If the difference between tiers is not clearly distinguished, people may lump them back together. There are also some very rare pets that are worth more than some omg so rare pets. A lot of pets also fluctuate in value based on the species it is. More popular species tend to be valued more highly than less popular ones. I think the impact rarity changes have on trading will really depend on the criteria that earns a pet a certain tier. If it's solely based on the number of the pet that most people have (essentially the way rarities are currently done) I don't know if it will make much of a difference, especially considering we don't know the actual pet counts.

One important thing to consider is that making rarity tiers the way they currently work won't factor in the demand side of value, which is what almost everyone on CS trades by. Take the "ex-list" pets for example, there are some of those that fluctuate between very rare and omg so rare but their value doesn't really change.

Essentially what I'm trying to say here is, trading is a supply and demand economy. If what you are altering has no impact on supply and demand, then I believe any impact on trading will be negligible. I'm not against adding more rarity tiers, I just don't think it's actually going to make trading any easier.
