Abolish Tiers

Hello, I am L, or London. I am here to address to you the topic of higher tiers. First of all, why are they so popular? At this point, people only want them because they're high up in some fan-made tier. Don't get me wrong, some of them aren't the prettiest.... Looking at you, Limberg... But really. What does Tier 1 have going for it? A feminine deer, a possessed doll, a Kylie Jenner lip challenge fail, a grumpy squirrel, Egyptian cat, couple of overrated cats, the only thing unique is a pie rhinoceros! I believe everyone around is a bit brainwashed. The only thing keeping these things on the market is their names! People don't actually like them, do they? It's a fad. A very contagious one, at that. In conclusion, I say, everyone who only likes Tier 1s for their popularity, put your real tier 5 dreamies in that signature! These tiers are rubbish, I say we should no longer follow their standards and respect the people that have any sort of dreamie! Thanks for reading, if you support this, share it around. -L

Um excuse me? Youre the one I'm seeing saying you don't want a certain villager because their in a bad tier.
 
Or maybe those villagers just best fit the norm for what people consider cute? It's not that serious.
 
I love the high tier villagers that I have, and I have them because I think they're sweet & adorable & pretty. They fit perfectly with my town. I don't have 'real' tier 5 dreamies that I'm secretly too embarrassed to admit or something. I don't like a villager because of their tier, I like them regardless of their tier. Even if the tier system did not exist I would still want the villagers that I have right now.

I personally think that it's based on what people actually like. If you don't like them then that's fine with you.
 
The tiers are garbage imo but we don't really need to abolish them and your post was kinda ridiculous.
 
it literally doesn't even matter if there were solid "tiers" or not because there will be popular villagers regardless of whatever label theyre given and will always be worth more. if you don't like how it is then play the game how you want it to and get over yourself. plenty of people like villagers for what they look like and not just their popularity. like hey, i'm not that much of a fan of julian either but i don't go on trade forums and call him fugly. just do your own thing

In some way I agree with you, because there are equally adorable villagers that are in tier 5 and deserve to be in tier 1. But then again, this is just a site with peoples opinions. (Not here to judge, promise)
 
The Tier List will never EVER be perfect. People will disagree. But this is the most accurate we got. I don't agree with things in the Tier List. But I don't think this post is necessary
 
Aren't you that one person who kept trying get villagers and then immediately changed your mind once you found out their tier?
Seems just a bit hypocritical imo. :o
Also people like who they like? I don't understand why people care so much about other players' preferences.
I personally don't care for tiers but you're not being forced to have or like them or anything despite what I guess overexposure makes you feel. :confused:

Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't care for the tier list. I don't think anybody is 100% satisfied. It's just everubody has a different opinion. I can't stand Diva. Some people love her.
 
Yo, it's whatever if you don't like people who like tier one villagers, but would you kindly...like...get over it?
 
I definitely agree that there's nothing special about the higher tier villagers, but that's how fads work. Something being popular does genuinely change how people feel about it. It's like how certain clothing styles go in and out of style every few years - they still look the same but we find them attractive or ugly due to popularity.

Anyways if you find the tier system stupid I suggest you cycle in some tier 1s and sell them - that's what made me love the system (and become a bellionaire ;) ). I mean why else would I have Chief right now?
 
I have animals from every tier in my town. I got them because I like them.

People would still like those same villagers without tiers. People would still pay insane prices for those tiers even without them. The tiers exist not only as a price guide, but as a way for people with unwanted animals to know what to expect if they're putting them up for auction. Nobody will pay the same amount for a diamond and a quartz rock. Nobody should sell a diamond for quartz rock prices, or quartz rocks for diamond prices. It's called supply and demand. It's called economy.

Tiers would still exist with or without a guide. The only negative it really brings is the tier 5's tend to be auto-voided, which I personally dislike, but it's up to the cycler/seller/player if they want to dedicate time trying to give away a villager who most probably won't be taken. At the same time, it's good that a tier 5 exists because it tells the person "Hey, these guys aren't popular, so try giving them away so they end up happily homed." It acts as a guide to newbies so they know not to auction a tier 5, and it's helpful to those of us looking because most cyclers will gladly hold a tier 5 if you ask. It's because of that tier list that I KNEW to ask people to not auto-void Puck.

As for your idea that "People only want them because they're popular," you've got it backwards. They're popular BECAUSE people want them. They're the cuter animals. They're the animals people choose when they're pouring over the Wiki deciding who they want. I wanted tier 1's like Rosie and Lolly far before knowing of a tier list. I let go of villagers like Tia because I disliked them, even if they were a higher tier.

I've never met a single person who bought a tier 1 for popularity. I've mentioned so many times that I don't understand Marshal's appeal, and you know what I got in response? Answers. They like that he's pouty. They like the Smug attitude. They like his looks, his colors, his house. He fits a theme. Multiple reasons upon reasons as to why he is liked. Why do people like Stitches? He's cute. He reminds them of that old beat up teddy bear they all had when they were three. He's a little creepy and looks unique. He's colorful. People like vibrant and colorful animals.

I think you're the one making poor judgments by basically calling people sheep for liking what's popular. People should be allowed to like who they like without people like you bashing on them for their personal choice and aesthetic. It's not cool at all. If they happen to like all the tier 1's, let them. It's their choice and it doesn't affect you in the slightest. You want tier 5's? Great. Get them. Have a load of fun. I'm sure your town will be absolutely beautiful with whatever villagers you choose. You do you.

But let others have their own fun as well.

If people like a villager because other people like them, so what? they'll love them all the same, and if they don't, they can find another one.
 
I agree to a degree, most of my villagers are T4 and T5 and I love them and wanted them regardless of that. But just because you disagree and think they should be 'abolished' doesn't mean you need to voice that opinion, you can keep it to yourself. As said before, the tier system will always be flawed and there will always be disagreements.

Just leave it at that.

Oh and also, maybe it's just me but I have never ever seen someone get made fun of or something for looking for/lurking/wanting a lower tier villager. So I don't understand the 'respect the people that have any sort of dreamie', I think you're just making something out of nothing.

Sometimes people can get over-obsessed with tiers instead of liking a villager for who they are but the lists are generally a good indicator of how wanted each villager is and we need some sort of system for fair trades etc.
