Why is the imperial motiif solo rare when every merchant, soldier, and merc is wearing it or using its weapons?

Even the skeletons are wearing imperial.

I'm not a proud man. I will wear that stinky skeleton armor.

    It's rare because you can buy it with real money.

    Its rare for the same silly reason that Imperials are rare (despite being the most well travelled and cosmopolitan of peoples in Tamriel). In fairness though, Imperial armor does look particularly awesome doesn't it?

    It was always rare, even when it was a blue motif, before they gave the motifs other colors.
    Darned if I know why, tho. Maybe something to do with the Imperial Edition and the ability to convert items?

    Most of the imperials are troubled by the war in cyrodiil, esp. the capital (IC). Some big imperial factions did a trade with Molag Bal.
