Where would you like us to communicate such a thing? I'd be happy to share news like this more widely, but I don't think the majority of people on site would care about a news post simply saying that level has been removed from pet rankings (which do not affect gameplay in any way). As for why intelligence was left, it actually affects what your pet can do in battle. Level does not. People were boosting level cheaply simply to raise their total rank, and the list was not an accurate ranking of pet power.

Battle news page is dumb and is going away!

Why should you get compensation for this? It doesn't change how your pet performs in battle. It doesn't change anything but your rank on one table that awards zero prizes. The level high score table even still exists, so people can still aim for top spot there if they want to. But you chose to boost your level to a number much higher than necessary for training your pet, and we're not going to compensate you for that decision.

I kinda like that idea, but I'm not requesting anything else big until I get multiple default sets and a scroll library. ;)

We're taking away level, defense, and speed? I must have missed that...
