Legacy players had their time in 1.0 to build up crafting to lvl 50 so they have the benefit of a lvl 50 crafter being the one that makes the real money.
I'm on a Legacy server, but I didn't get any classes up higher than 30 during 1.0. I didn't have any crafting classes past 10. It's actually tougher to make money while leveling crafting on a Legacy server, since there are a lot less low levels to sell gear to (and those who are low level are usually Legacy players who make their own gear), but I've managed to make a good amount of money selling materials. It's really just a matter of gathering crafting mats yourself and selling the excess.
