Are the 4.2 rares still rare?

[Vignax]

After i reactivated my acc from a few months WoW Break, i log back in, and every day, i see almost all of the rares up everyday


While im posting this i see karkin,kirix,deth'tilac,magria,skitterflame and solix up


Is it just my realm or did they lose their title?

As far as I know, they're all still rare. I can think of two things that would explain why you see so many of them now.

First, most hunters who were out to tame them have already gotten the one(s) they wanted. I know I've seen one or more up and said something in zone and other channels, telling hunters they were up for taming and I've gotten no response.

Second, a lot of people have done enough Molten Front dailies that they've gotten the achievements, pets/mount/etc on at least one character. I dunno about others, but I'm rather glad to not be doing those any more on my main. Fewer players in the zone means fewer people killing the rares when they spawn.

Thanks for the anwser, i'm on a very low populated realm so that might be it

Yeah my server they aren't up all that often. (Arthas)

Sooo glad to be done with MF dailies.

Some are up and stay up a long time on my server (the spiders and spirit cats) and some are either killed or snatched up instantly (Karkin, Skarr, Ban). It really all depends on the particular pet it seems. Spiders aren't really wanted on my server, nor are the Gondria clone cats (Magria and Ankha), but the others are. I've seen Deth and Magria in particular stay up for over 3 hours. Nothing like having a friend wanting Ankha instead of Magria, but unable to do anything or reset the timer since no one will tame Magria to get rid of her. We didn't want to kill her, if we even could manage it.

Yeah, depends on the server and the demand. On WrA, for example, there are still lots of hunters out there looking for pet XYZ. It's a pretty high-population, alt-heavy realm, though. Still, I manage to run into the harder to tame spiders often. Deth and Kirix have sat around for up to an hour before people built up the courage to try taming.
