As a streamer, giving those old school/new players a different venue to ask questions or to be able to see that "classic" EQ is still alive, is rewarding. Since I don't have the resources as a Warrior or enough bankroll to be handing out plat, I do try to give away some spells and low end items. But I think the most rewarding aspect is to see their excitement. Whether it be from reconnecting to long lost friends from servers of old, or the newbie who dislikes the Daybreak/Live/Progression server. I get a /tell from someone who just installed and have begun their journey. Thanking me!?!? I will sometimes into these players, and their excitement of seeing themselves on Twitch.tv ... it's almost tangible.
Common comments:
"Oh my god, people still play this?"
"I haven't seen this zone since I was a teenager..."
"I never did the raiding scene, and have never seen Plane of Hate..."
"I only started playing after [X] expansion..." never having experienced Classic EQ, Kunark, Velious.
It's a good feeling, to be able to give something back in my limited capacity as a "filthy casual". And I will continue as long as I can...
So to agree, the best people are the new/return players. Not discounting the established neckbeards in anyway
