I am pretty sure in terms on code a rare spawn is no different than a normal mob.

Try not to use weasel words, if you don't know what they are look here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_wordHow about you say which servers don't have them or have items changes; for instance Feenix I know for a fact have all rare spawns but the ones outside of instances don't drop loot and this was intentional because of the high spawn rates.
I have not seen the Deathsworn Captain and Odo nor seen in 20+ runs. They were never *that* rare.
Why are the hell are you running that place 20+ times? I'm guessing for twink stuff maybe.
