As a legacy player, I remember one time for the rising event they brought back white raven and manderville earrings as a thing you could just purchase during the event, even though they were very rare (and very prestigious in the white raven's case), exclusive 1.0 items. Leagues more sacred by most people's measure than anything that's been introduced in ARR and beyond. Relics of a forgotten era most people will never experience in their lives

So let me offer some experienced words of wisdom for you, OP: You'll get over it. It's not that big of a deal really. It's a video game, the world still turns.

The important thing is the memories you have, not the item itself. I still keep a smattering of "dated" 1.0 equips and even some raid pieces from ARR when I first started raiding, and those allagan pieces in particular are worth nothing. Anybody could unsync and get them in a few minutes time. But I keep them anyway, because when I see them in my retainer's inventory, I'm reminded of the struggle I went through to get them, and the friends I made doing so. I don't care if everyone else has them too, that's unimportant. The ones I have are priceless to me
