Back in the day on live when I saw someone obviously twinked I never thought "damnit i'm going to quit now cause they shouldn't have that stuff so early", instead I thought "nice gear, if I play hard, skip showers, one day these things will too be mine".
Many people are demoralized by the idea of needing to skip showers and, indeed, many other things in life to even attempt to be comparable to the existing players on a server - an impossible feat given those players are still progressing even while you try to catch up to where they already were when you started. And by "demoralized" I mean they'll weigh the options and go for the "fuck that" route and leave.

There's also the simpler problem of realizing that when people are farming epic parts so much that sub-level 10 alts have their epics already, it's probably going to be even harder to get yours since you're competing with who knows how many people who aren't even your class farming the required elements for cash. People who are better geared than you and already well-versed in how to do these things efficiently. This is also discouraging.

(As for the first point, I bet they copy/pasted out of notepad. It does odd things to spacing if you have word wrap enabled.)
