Anyone who thinks there is even the slight chance that Rarity is going to leave her old friends for Canterlot is really not thinking. Setting aside the fact that the show is intended to have a laid back continuity, maybe one major change per season at best, can you imagine what a terrible message that would send to kids? Say what you will, the show is still written for children, the ponies are supposed to be positive and realistic role models for little girls. What kind of lesson would they learn if one of the characters they've grown to learn from decides it's better to abandon those you love in exchange for advancing your social standing?

Even if none of the writers see a problem with this, the network would never let it fly. Moreover do you think Hasbro would, even for a second, consider letting the writing team ditch a character? It's a merchandise driven show guys, and that means the stories affect the toy lines, and if those stories carry even the slightest risk of reduced sales then those stories don't happen.
