More Status Selection (e.g. level of completion, level of desire, etc)
These status are crucial for us when deciding what to play next.
Now you got 6 status: playing, played, want to play, favourite, wishlist (+ tags + lists)
Bxxkloggery.com got 8
Darkadia.xxm got 8 (+tags)
Grouvee.cxx got 4 (+ lists)
Please consider which are essential and which are not mutually exclusive, (e.g. darkadia.xxm can check all 8 status)
mainly, your those mentioned sites added 2 more levels of completion
personally, I want the want to play (backlog) to have a priority (simple: high, mid, low priority selections in the "want to play" status; advanced but not necessary: 5star, 10points scale for "want to play")
These make me able to choose what games I will be "what I ranked I wanna play most" or "completed soon" on top of your comprehensive filter system
As of the December 2016 update, we now have more statuses to choose from. Progress and completion features will be addressed separately from status selection.

Dear Kamran,
Hello there, site master. I hope you’re having a nice day.
This is just to inquire about the lists. To recap, I expressed objection to some sub-lists of PLAYED - COMPLETED & MASTERED, which are better off united into DOMINATED.
Too many sub-lists of PLAYED showed down the battle against the BACKLOG. Visual ques: COMPLETED & MASTERED ask for grinding. Star Wars Battlefront II’s gambling fiasco (a.k.a. Loot Boxes) is a prime example. Today’s games are not designed to be pushovers.
Can we expect an overhaul of Lists next year?
Best regards,
LI HIMSON

Yes, I'm supportive of consolidating "Completed" Status and "Mastered" Status into one - either it's "Dominated" Status or something else to mark the next level of completion over "Beaten".
Alternatively, it makes a lot of sense to introduce "Retired" Status to mark the games that have served their entertainment purpose having being beaten.

Grateful for your feedback, as always.
I've a "Dominated" description idea: Games I've beaten and played to my heart's content.

Actually, I'm more inclined to the description than either "Completed", "Mastered" or "Dominated" terms. The point is to differentiate freshly beaten games from those you'd satisfied your appetite with.
In contrast, "Completed" and "Mastered" statuses are detrimental to backlog combat. OCD users might find it necessary to grind a game just so it can one day earn such statuses.

To wrap things up, whenever a gamer feels closure for a game, it goes under DOMINATED status.

Right off the bat, let me acclaim that KTOMG cares more about user feedback compared to the competition.
The 2016 DEC update saw the introduction of "Abandoned", "Completed" and "Mastered" statuses. It goes without saying that "Completed" and "Mastered" can be traced back to Backloggery's Status Guidelines.

But I protest against them both. They are exceptionally tough to fulfill if you are honest with yourselves.
100% Completion?
Hardest Difficulty - checked?
Collectibles - checked?
DLC - checked?
Achievements - checked?
XP Progression - checked?Mastery?
Speed Run - checked?
No Damage Run - checked?
Knife-only / Pistol-only Run - checked?It's cool SOMEBODY manages to fulfill 100% Completion or Mastery but I don't believe the average gamer has 100% Completion or Mastery on their radar.
May I suggest the substitute? The DOMINATED Status!
"Dominated" goes beyond "Beaten" without the craze of 100% or Mastery.
Let me put an example: I have *almost* completed Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare campaign on Veteran Difficulty. Goddamnit, "Mile High Club"! Nevertheless, it is still a feat.
Due to "Mile High Club", my progress does not qualify as "100%" or "Mastery". But it definitely qualifies as "Dominated".
Thank you for your consideration in advance!

These were mentioned (kindof) but I meant to look for the most comprehensive integration.

Strikethrough "your" in "mainly, your those mentioned ..."
and
last sentence should be
These make me able to choose what games " are with highest priority " or " will be completed soon" on top of your comprehensive filtering system
