/agree
The purpose behind low drop rates is to keep items rare. But that doesn't mean there shouldnt be lower tier items available to those who have been grinding essence.
Additionally, you could have some items requiring components to be combined together to create. Making them still very hard to obtain, while being powerful. Example, weapon hilt, guard, blade, shaft combines to create a powerful weapon. 10x armor plate, armor binding material combine to create powerful armor. You can add legendary crafter npc's who would build these weapons, and maybe even require a quest to be finished before they will work for you.
Making things like this might take a bit more time, but ultimately the extra 2 weeks of work for staff would turn into months of extra work for a player, maybe more.
