Grays, also, don't really provide anything to anyone other than just to collect random things (Steamy Romance Novel comes to mind). Which is why people usually just say to vendor them, but hey, if it brings a couple pieces of gold, I'm all in. =P
Its all perception and player psychology. We may not, mostly remember our younger days - but new toons, whether in the hands of experienced players to true newbies, "die" a lot more often that we do. Just like us, they want the best chance they can win (or buy). That piddly little piece of +70 armor or a 10DPS weapon is to them a glowing opportunity - and while it may be a pathetic "grey", it has the lovely advantage of being in their price range.
