I think you are missing a major point. Most people only hand off their
armor to their 2nd and 3rd characters when they are done with them. I doubt
they will get rubicite for example, and hand them down to one of their
characters, then go back and try again for some rubicite, and had that down.
I'm not saying that there are not some that do this, but from what I heard
about camping for rubicite it is an experience in frustration and most sane
players would not do it again if they absolutely didn't have too.
