White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

It's probably way too late now but the Rising reward should be altered in some way to reflect that it is not the original White Raven earrings from 1.0.

Definitely too late. If they were going to make changes, it needed to be done before any new players had acquired the earrings, because the game can’t see the difference. Any alterations to the item now would affect new and old players equally.

Not necessarily too late, but definitely not worth the effort:

Step 1: Modify all current earrings, for example rename them to "Replicas" (this will affect old and new players, as you said).
Step 2: Add a new set of earrings, call them "White Ravens" and make them available only to those characters whose lodestone has an entry for defeating Darnus (Hard) or completing "The Raven, Nevermore". See this post:[LINK]

They are most definitely not going to do anything of the sort for such a small subset of players (if the devs cared we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with), but they do have a way to do something. Not saying whether they should or not either, just that it's possible.
