The bigger question is why you don't feel that we should be. Tradable rares do nothing to prove or indicate how long you're playing, nor are they unique - anyone can buy them (with a whole wad of cash). No one can buy my Scythe, no matter how much they want it. Do they have the right to obtain something that they weren't around to get? No, they don't. Just like you don't deserve $100 from someone handing out cash to everyone on the street because you were busy at work, and couldn't get to him in enough time. Sure, being recognized as an RSC player is rather moot nowadays, as even I've lost most consideration into it. That, however, doesn't mean that I'm just going to say "ok" to everyone getting a Scythe or Bunny Ears. It's just an item. There's nothing special about IT, everyone should have a chance to get it. If you were asked to delete one weapon from the game forever, and you had a choice between the scythe and whip, which would you pick? What is special about IT is that IT shows you have played RS since its infancy. I own neither a scythe nor bunny ears, but I accept that the whole point of them is to show that you were around when they were dropped. I have no desire to own a pair, since I was not. If they were made available to everyone, they would become about as popular as the ying-yang amulets the makeover mage sells. Would that really be better than the way things are now? It would make them feel more included because everything in life should be like little league soccer. No one outranks anyone, and everyone gets a pat on the back and the same size trophy.
