-You think legacy items should exist forever and never be taken out, which would remove a huge amount of the appeal of them, and also be lame.

The only way I can really interpret this is similar to if someone was arguing for the need to keep Kronos on TLP servers. Yeah, they bring in a good number of players and help to make the environment more "competitive" - but it also becomes the foundation for the server's economy and community. Not always in a good way.
Why would a server be "more broken" or "less competitive" if some legacy items continued to drop? Does anyone give a @%8@ if more Guises were running around or if Rubicite Armor continued to drop? What about Beads, OVP, CoS? The majority of players on Green who participate in "end-game" EQ likely have those items or the plat for 'em anyways. And my perception is that the majority of the people who are sitting through these legacy camps are hardcore players (like Fawqueue) who have been playing P99 for a decade plus...
There are also plenty of in-demand items and spells that continually drop on these servers yet still fetch lots of plat, so it's not like "no legacy items = welfare pixels for all."
