Rarity implies a sense of limited quantity or extreme difficulty in obtaining. My 'nothing you can do about it' referred to the former -- limited quantity. Assuming the latter, hardmode bosses drop gear that is better than the 'regular' bosses; your rarity is in the gear. You don't need to enforce 'rarity' on something like enchantments -- it's much better for it to be on gear because there is the option of the gear being of a different model/skin whereas enchantments will all look the same.
Of course, the third opinion is that you think you should have BOTH gear AND enchantments at a 'rarity' because of fighting hardmode bosses, in which case I categorically reject the opinion as simple and childish elitism. IOW, your 'rare +12 BiS item' is still a rare +12 BiS item, but not because of the enchantment -- because it's BiS. But the +12 is something anyone can aspire to -- bear in mind we're not talking about a negligent cost here. Only those who are dedicated enough to earn it in the first place are going to have it (or those who can afford to buy/deal in chronoscrolls). There is even a -measure- of rarity in that. There is no need, nor will most people support, more rarity ON TOP OF that. We don't care how 'hardcore' and 'special' someone thinks they need to be to have their ego assuaged.
What do you mean 'nothing you can do about it'?
If the item was rare, off of a very difficult boss that only some guilds can achieve; you can train your guild on how to fight those bosses then start winning your +12 items.
ezez.
If I was at a disadvantage to a team of full +12 folk, they obviously had the better gear / skill than we did. Fair loss is fair.
