Demand and rarity are two different things c: Demand most certainly matters and it has nothing to do with rarity of a pet.

For example, you can have a rare pet that has no demand - thus it will be hard to trade. Have a rare pet with lots of demand? You might even get a very rare pet for it - because of it's demand. that has nothing to do with it's rarity tag but with how much people want it.

There's no really disagreeing with demand, it's there and you can refuse to deal with it or go along with it C: Either is up to you, but trading does become a lot easier when you keep demand in mind!

Now that I'm rereading the guide, I think I get what Lavastar/Lavaclan was trying to say.

There are many things that affect rarity. I'm going to break this down into a few categories: Demand, Type, Date, Special Events, Re-releases, Store Pets, Hoarding & Items.


And

Demand is probably one of the most important thing to consider in rarities, besides their face values.


The word choice ("rarities") can be rather misleading. Maybe a better word would be "values"? Idk

On phone; sorry if something seems strange
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
I neither read nor speak between the lines. But I will analyze your language.

Rarity is how much a pet is worth while demand is how much someone values said pet, so it does matter.

Crappy example: I have a UR Malk and you have a UR Tiger, you want to trade your Tiger for my Malk, which is unfair both rarity and 'demand' wise to you according to the guides counting demand, but to me my UR Malk is worth 10x your tiger so I wont trade it because to me, its worth more ^^

Doesn't actually own a UR Malk, but if I did, then this example would be 100% correct c:

Excuse me if I miss interpreted your statement ^^


And i agree with nickjr, after reading that line a few times, it's understandable how it can be misread, 'values' fits better ^^

wow, thanks. This really helps me a lot because I still haven't really gotten a clear idea of what the rarities mean, and now I do. Thanks! :thumbup:

Do you know anybody who owns one, I know I'd never stand a chance trading for one, I wouldn't even be able to trade for half a sunjewel, let alone two. I just am interested to see what they look like

Questions:

1) What does the Rainbow Smoothie look like?

2) Is a malk mutant, Punk list dog, Malk Dragon (red/green), and some 09 rares worth a galaxy wolf?

3) I tried entering a question to Nick, but it never got answered. Is there any way to contact him directly? I tried sending him a help slip and making a forum, but that didnt work. Unless you can help me....

Thanks for your time! ~Purr

2. Galaxy wolf? What does it look like?

3. The only way to contact Nick is through a help ticket, but it depends on your question. If it is something that a mod could help you, then you won't get Nick.

2. No, those pets arent worth a be or ce galaxy.

3. If you set your help ticket to admin only and adressed it to nick, you will def get him. It takes patience as hes just one person, im sure you can understand he gets a lot of messages and is real busy c:
