The hours you spent on it won't magically make it match the current ilvl meta, Glamour is glamour, No amount of gill or hours you spent on it will change that. Just something you'll have to get over, The zeta serve the same use as the replicas, Only for glamour.

Don't get me wrong, I find an atma skip well worth trading it in. Not vendor trash, not player made items, though. I don't care about a piece of glamour, in regards to the replica. I put a lot of time into my weapon. My time is what's of value here, not the actual piece of equipment.

Pretend its the same item, LOL.
Has to be one of the dumbest things ever.

I'm kind of with Laerad on this. My Zeta isn't just a "pretty" weapon, it is MY weapon. It's stats are picked to exactly fit my taste and I remember every hardship I've been through to get to where it is now.
There is a huge difference between this and a mere glamour item. But hey, everyone has a different bond to their items. I am one of those people who have an entire retainer bag full of 1.0 items like prophecy scrolls, deaspected polycrystals, Maelstrom medals and the like. It's the same kind of memory chest people have in RL with concert tickets, postcards and seashells they picked up at their holiday location. My Zeta is part of that and there should be a good reason to throw it away.

That's nice. Way to belittle others.

Relic Zeta.
The difference being I actually put time and effort, 7m, 300+ hours, and leveled a stupid tank to not sit in queue for an hour and a half as dps to get my item.

Zeta Replica
Crappy stats and 61gil.

Yeah, there's NO difference.

Crappy stats... it's an irrelevant weapon at 60, a glamour piece at that point there is your difference, all that other stuff doesn't matter anymore gil spent/time.
I came back to the game late, what I would give to be in your position with a Zeta to trade in and skip an extra grind step.

And the Mona Lisa is no better than a good copy of it. Worse, really, because it's so old that it takes a lot of work to keep it nice looking.

Well except the part where you have to do this:

Sure? I mean i got my Zeta as well back when they were relevant but it isn't like i'm using it for stats at level 60. I would hope nobody else is doing this as well.

If this is just about the "Replica" part of the text in the item description then, i dunno what to tell you w/e floats your boat dude.
