Everyone had the same opportunity to win the items, and it worked out that way quite nicely. There are not enough rare items in circulation nowadays to negate the flow of money, so unless you want to fork out loads upon loads of money or items for a single good item, you'd have to stick with alchemy stuff and basic weapons. By increasing the amount of rare items on the server, it will give more people the opportunity to use the items to their advantage, and, if done correctly, may help even out some of the big gaps when it comes to things like dueling, etc.
