I think its ok sticking to Velious, but to me Luclin was great and I have lots of good memories from that place. I started playing just a month or so after Luclin was launched and I'd say that I had more interaction with people back then, maybe because I had 40+ hours a week to play.
Also, the EC tunnel (which i never experienced on live) is not contributing to the social aspects of this game and people would be playing the actual game a LOT more if they did not have to spend so much time in there.
I remember that during PoP, KC was still always camped and KC loot was still top notch (I was mighty proud of my full suit of Singing Steel). Kunark content was definitely not trivialized during the PoP era!!
I would assume most of the resistance to Luclin comes from people with no life outside of EQ that sees their existence in the game (and thus their whole life) being threatened by casual players being able to enjoy the game as much as they do.
