Rare is just a manufactured gimmickry label in this case. How can you call legendary items in this game rare? All 6000000+ players will get legendary items. Now if their were only 50 - 100 of the same thing available. Then it would be truely rare. But when their in a shop like Vangaurds with endless supply. It can't be really rare. Maybe the exotic ones are rare but not the legendary items. Thers also no different cut scenes far as I can tell. I did start new characters and the storyline seems the same to me. So unless they change the storyline for each them replayability seems kinda bland too.
