This makes it super easy for someone to get good gear and makes some of the more classic gear utterly worthless. People used to pay for dervish rings and minotaur axes.

I am sure most don't mind and hell my lvl 13 bard has drake hide leggings and iksar scaled gloves, but it feels wrong in my gut. I much prefer my earned items like my Dragoon Dirk.

If you prefer earning items the hard way, then earn them the hard way. You don't need to split the server's population and demand a bunch more work from the staff in order to play a new character naked, or refuse to accept plat you think is dirty, or just fucking delete the gear some high-level gives to you because he thinks he's doing you a favor.

Also, go figure lots of classic gear isn't valuable in late Kunark. That would be the case regardless of the speed of the timeline.

Hell. Make a guild that refuses to play except untwinked from level 1, that won't buy/sell gear unless it is from another guildie, that emphasizes acquiring gear directly, etc etc etc. You'd probably get a decent following, really.
