First reason: UNIQUENESS
Making replicas, you make a clone of what exists, creating according to the drawing, copying information from the Internet for description, without any part of yourself.
Yes, I can make a replica, but something unique. I'm not going to do what a huge number of players copied before me, like clones of clones, merging with the gray mass of the same soulless replicas (yes, I appreciate the work of those who make accurate, beautiful, complex and popular replicas, but for me they nothing is unique).
Second reason: IDEALISM
The replica should repeat the characteristics of the real object as much as possible, but with the limitations of SP physics, the lack of a top-end gaming computer (to create perfect replicas) and the lack of high-quality information, which already reduces the desire to make replicas to 0.
And the third reason: Community of replica builders.
Very toxic and aggressive.
Well, I also have a couple of Tanks in my tower, there are about 30 of them that I can realised.
Honestly, I'd like to do more of my own stuff, I just can't figure out how to make a good description.
Same, I don't really make replicas but when I do it's either a fictional concept no one has done before or a add my own spin to it.
Yeah, I get ya! Personally I have curated a certain style that does not translate into the world of the real.
I relate so much to this
I mean uhm I guess
Replicas don’t need to be perfect
A man of similar culture, I too have these exact reasons for what I do.
