Why the rarity system is so messed up

1) Rare spikes are rarer than diamond spikes.
There are about 800,000,000 rare spikes in the game; and there are only about 10,000,000 diamond spikes in the game.

2) rare longs are rarer than short spikes.
There are roughly 2,000,000 more rare longs than shorts.

3) no old items are recognised.
People prefer a headdress to a tan tiki; tan tikis being older and rarer.

4) seasonal items come SO rare after they've just left.

5) rare item Mondays from 2012 are considered nothing, even when you can't buy them or obtain them. People would choose spikes over them, even when the rim is rarer.

6) spikes look like impailed porcupines, people only want them for status.

7) people say "den beta"
 this actually means "den from the testing period"... ummm what?!

8) spikes rarity
You trade 10 fox hats for a good long. Good deal, right? Wrong. Spikes are WAY more common than fox hats, but are considered rarer.

9) the term "good long"
People say "good long" or "bad short". This actually intirely based off someone's opinion on their colour choice.

10) black longs
All long and short spikes are distributed evenly, yet, you trade 4 "good" longs for a spiked collar that is as common as the next.

Sorry most of these were about spikes, I couldn't help but rant on about them.
Anyways, I gotta' run,
See ya!
