I agree, rare should ONLY pertain to genuine rarity. Quality is an extremely opinion-based factor in most cases, and shouldn't have a place in hard categorization.

One thing to clarify that I hadn't considered though. We've all pretty much agreed rare should be based on drop rate exclusively from what I see. There is one other thing worth inclusion, and likely one category worth exclusion. Specifically, guaranteed (or even not guaranteed) drops from extremely rare mobs (Tim and similar) should likely be included.

As for the exclusion, I'd suggest we keep ALL banners out of the rare items category, and simply add the Banners blanket page to the category if necessary. All banners have the same drop rate, their presence would only serve to clutter the category and prevent people from easily browsing actual rare items.
