Rare Item Drop Rates in Act 1

Act 1 has gotten to easy because of Rare item drops, before the rare item drop changes items where more meanigful and encouraged using crafting materials (which didnt drop enough), but now with the rare item drop change before getting to the rust king it is very likely to be decked out in rares, sure not the best one suited for your character but the extra stats make the begginig very easy and instead of interacting with the crafting i started to just wait for the next rare drop since it happens constantly, it felt better when rare's where actually rare, atleast at the begining of the game.
Now everything drops a rare, miller? rare. the frost witch girl? rare, devourer? rare, killing a zombie? rare, stepping on a hedgehog? rare.

if the devs could make those rare drops into regal shard drops i believe it would be better. or change the name from Rare Items to Common Items because thats what they currently are.
