Yeah, she needs more love and recognition beyond a yearly festival that reminds her of what she did 1000 years ago. Even if the festival is now about harmless jump scares and practical jokes.

No, that's what the Nightmare force does. Luna wasn't feeling neglected and feared, she was feeling unappreciated, and the Nightmare force amplified her emotional distress. Luna went rogue because her unappreciation turned into jealousy towards Celestia.
She was feared by the world because she became Nightmare, not before it.

And yeah, Rarity did deserve to be in Luna Eclipsed, but she was just inconsequential to the story, where Pinkie was vital (Though, if One Bad Apple is any indicator, Rarity was the one who made Scootaloo's wolf costume).
