I can understand that concern if custom items were far and away better than any weapon/armor piece/whatever currently on the server, but if it were comparable to gear already available and even just had a custom name, I'd still think most of the "hey, look at the cool kid with the unique item!" factor would still apply.

This is truth. An item doesn't need to be extremely powerful to carry a kind of almost mythic weight.

Remember the Crystal Claw? http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=335

It was rumored that the warrior who received it had her religion changed to Mayong Mistmoore by a GM. I still don't know if it was true, and I never asked, but the entire idea fascinated me.
