I am sure there are lots of items on the shard that are unused tiles including a few of the stealable rares. I can do nothing about that, I can not force players to update their clients or to run the version of client that I run when they play. I know that on the client I run all of the items exist and appear normal. There were actually around 90 stealables when I took it over btw. Mostly useless dailies. I kept some and added new ones to replace ones I did not keep. I only added around 20 more than we had before. Inherently stealable rare prices drop it is the nature of the rares as they spawn. Unless I revamped them every year or so.
I can do nothing about the past stealables as I had no control over them in any way or the ability to manipulate them or any control over that system at all. I can only address the current system that I put in place to replace the old system.
Not pointing finger just lamenting the change in the rares market. I think the new rares are all good deco pieces and the simple fact that you actually maintained a list of them is a huge improvement.
Your new system is good.
The market however, is shit.
