Why not

I think it should give the tear back and lose the SS, simply to help with the price of Sara Swords in general. They are super cheap and I welcome item sinks to get rid of items that are dense in the economy.

Orangepike,

I respectfully disagree. I understand that logic as it's the same logic OSRS implements, but we shouldn't carve out the sara sword to be the lone exception in Alora that degrades/disappears when none of the others degrade or disappear.

Even with the sara sword's low price though, I'd reasonably expect most people probably use a dragon longsword or dragon scimitar to get to 99 stats due to an early lack of price/game knowledge. Most people go straight for a whip because people just don't know how strong the SS and blessed SS really are. Many others go for a Zombie Axe. I recently tested DPS at both sand crabs and vyres with the ::maxhit command which shows DPS. There the regular ss outperforms a dragon scimmy + dragon defender, dragon mace + d defender, and Zombie axe + d defender.  Z axe will outperform on bosses with higher defence though due to it's higher accuracy. I haven't tested DPS of any against the Blessed Sara Sword because the regular SS was already my best in slot strength trainer / crush weapon based on that testing.

For Documentation purposes I'll share more of what I learned. To the best of my current knowledge the only two places where a Saradomin Tear can be obtained is the LMS store and the PKP store. This is not to be confused with the Saradomin's Light which is to the best of my knowledge, completely useless. As a test only, on my main, I bought archaic emblems from the TP and sold them to the PKP store just to test the Blessed SS revert feature. 

I may be the first and only person to document this in the game.
 

Both the SS and the Tear came back to my inventory! While the blessed SS was not tradable to GIM teammates, the Tear and the SS are! 

That is great news and makes this suggestion both low-priority and a source of documentation.

I don't know why Google indexes these suggestions better than other sources of information in the forums like the update/patch notes but that's a trend I've noticed. 

Bump. I would like questions answered like these 10:
1) Does letting hands on OLM respawn lead to higher points and higher purple chance per raid?
2) Does using a serp helm or any venom reduce the total number of points and purple chance you would've achieved?

3) For the sake of increasing points and purples, is it better to max hit on all of the boulders at Baba or skip all the way to the top and end the cycle of boulders early?
4) Does a ring of suffering (with the recoil charges) lower your potential points at all 3 raids? 

5) Does using vengeance lower your potential points and chance at a purple at all 3 raids?
6) Does skull skipping at TOA Wardens part 3 increase odds of a TOA purple? (in OSRS, attacking all of the skulls causes ~100 dmg to warden. Leaving one skull available causes no damaged to be applied and thus more opportunity for points as you damage the wardens yourself instead). 
7) In TOB, does ignoring the crabs and attacking maiden instead allow for more damage and a higher number of points / higher chance of purple?
8) Does having extra party members reduce the odds of getting a purple? and should it since this is meant to be social/group content? 
9) Does taking more tries to kill wardens part 2 lead to more points and a higher chance at a purple? 
10) What tricks can be employed to increase the odds of a purple at COX, TOB, and TOA?
