Obviously, it was like that when we got here. Its point is to keep items in circulation. I've built and improved on what we started with so it isn't so crushing, as you noted. Always happy to receive more suggestions but we should stay aware of that original intent for rare equipment. They made it powerful and fleeting. Its always difficult to play enough hours to keep rares, and the amount of time needed is hotly debated and we always end up not changing that amount of time. May not seem like anyone else is interested in the equipment, but in all honestly, that's probably not true, because anyone who owns a healer is locating eq like that frequently looking for it.

A couple of things:

You can determine "how rare" something is by its cost. All uniques have a cost of 1, because they're unique and there's only 1 of them. Rare A with cost 3 is rarer than Rare B with cost 6. Note that it doesn't always mean there's 3 of Rare A and 6 of Rare B. That number actually depends, to some extent, on the number of active players. More players active means more rares in circulation.

As of January 2018, the amount of time needed to keep rares scales based on the rarity of the item. The original post for that update is here: http://abandonedrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11708
