Are there enough rare things in WoW: Yes or No ?

Honestly I think WoW needs a new item category. It's a perfectly natural progression to go from a game where "Epic" items are very rare to a game where "Epic" items are very common. I think when that happens, though, you need to add a new level of rarity or risk inflation.
I think ultra-high iLevel epics just need a new color.

You want to WORK for something go farm Bloodsails for a Epic Quality pet which has 1 in 5000 to get. Thats what us pet collectors calls WORK.
EDIT: It looks pretty strange with Raid items having blue color, doesn't it?

I have to say I agree...but only to a point. I do think purples are way to easy to get in this game. I'm all for going back to full blues being the standard solo, instance-only, or softcore PvP person and purples being the stuff that the raiders and hardcore PvP players have (and the few people lucky enough to get a random world purple).
I happen to love being able to solo or small-group this game from level 1 to level 80 with only moderate difficulty. I enjoy being able to play on my own, when I want, and with who I want without being inconvenienced to much. I do not need uber-leet-purples in order to do this, and generally could more than likely get by with all greens if I wanted to (although I like my blues :P), so yes I think purples are WAY to common these days.
I also think that there should be more super-rare luck only drops. Preferably ones that are world drops so that specific spawns are not camped for weeks on end by farmers. Maybe a dragon pet egg that has a .0001% chance to drop from any mob in the game, or a glowing, giant, super sword that has the same general functions as the BoA items we have now (although maybe toned down a little bit). Trophy's, basically.
However, to the part I disagree on. I do not want this game to be work. I have nothing against luck playing a bigger role for things I do not need, I have nothing against the most powerful stuff being out of reach if I choose to play casually instead of hardcore, I even have nothing against 1 player on a whole server being the only one to have item X because it's just that frigging rare. However, do not turn my nice casual WoW game into a grindfest.
Er, I suppose I should say, do not turn my nice casual WoW game into even MORE of a grindfest maybe? Where it's at right now is pretty much just the right balance of fun and tedium, if it falls any farther into the monotonous stuff like rep grinding or having to run an instance 50 times to have a small chance of just possibly getting that one item you wanted (not including things like, say, barons mount. That SHOULD take you a long time), then it's just to far.
Wow...I posted a lot more than I thought I would...

i could understand his point really, epic ain't epic anymore, epic is the new blue.
they could really add another step higher for the real hardcore players who do totc 25 man heroic or something, kinda like a seperation there people see lets say dark coloured items or some kind of deeper shade of epic who you can see.
It was kinda why epic was looked up for people doing mc and other raids back in the days, people with blue gear really looked on people with epic gear or other epic gear people thought hey you are cool man.
Also i think he is also referring more to rare item to drop like pets or other fun items more than the raid aspect of the game. I cannot see anything wrong with it, sadly his points does fall some due blizz did introduce 8 (think it was 8) new raptors who had like 1 in 1000 drop chance on alot of world raptors and a boss in ZG. But in TBC they only added 1 pet to drop(fire fly), rest was vendor. So more rare pets i welcome and also some other stuff, perhaps a teleport device to drop of enginner mobs hehe, or an fishing stick who says "Arthas pole":)
also i think it was a bit unfair the wolvar did not get any pet from there jar, they could have added an oozling to spawn meh:) Now the most people choices oracles due the egg is superior.

I dont want to be hated with Booty Bay, Gadgetzan & Everlook as i enjoy going to the towns and using their transportation.
PS - in before " beggars can't be choosers ", it has no relevance :P
Level up a new character and only use that character for farming the pet.

eh have you checked everywhere? and by that, i mean
everywhere
? there are two hidden instance-zones, one raid and one 5man dungeon tuned for lvl80, those dont appear on lfg and have no summoning stones, but are there yet to be played anyway.
A cave entrance somewhere to a whole zone with npcs, quests and an elite area. A wandering outdoor raid-boss that only spawns at odd hours at random secluded locations once every three months and then despawns after 1 hour. A secret cow-level.
There are lots of stuff like that (or not, i might lie)

If I'm not mistaken bloodsails increase your rep with all the Goblin towns.
