What happened to new PVP gear set Bonuses on Preview?

Hello everybody,
I checked the preview server today and at the Trade of the Blades I realised that the set bonuses for the new Elemental PvP gear are disappeared. After that I checked the recent preview server patches and there were nothing about that on the patch notes. Were there a ninja edit by the Devs on these gears without any info?

It's very possible that they are moving away from set bonuses in general on 4-piece gear sets.
I'd actually prefer this ,if they used overload slots to add interchangeable set bonuses so you could mix and match gear that suits your build instead of being stuck with one specific set due to it's set bonus.
Update -
If you want to try to run the new lvl 70 dungeons in lvl 60 gear then good luck with that , I'll use the new lvl 70 sets with the added 40-60k HP and stay alive lmfao
...there could be e.g. a modular approach. And especially with the PvP set, I'd be a verry happy panda if those were made intermingleable and still grant the set bonus. Basically there's no reason why they shouldn't, and it would make fine tuning your char a lot easier, and also possibly, potentially make it easier to switch between PvE and PvP gear.
The way the new pvp sets were set up before they removed the set bonuses you could mix and match pieces from any of the three sets and still get the two and four set bonuses. While this might help balance the rogue it also might set other classes back as well
...meh. Cancel GS, rename it, then remove the main reason to not only up that...
...IMHO smart moves look different.
Why is that? OK, some bonuses weren't the best ones - SW, CW, but e.g. DC or HR were OK. I'd have loved to keep those.
I honestly don't like the fact that they are removing two and four set bonuses from items, it feels kinda weird to see what is supposed to be best in slot gear without set bonuses. While the TR will be the hardest hit by the removal of the 4 set bonus from pvp gear I feel like it will also have a lesser effect on other classes.
I wonder what reasoning was behind why, "set bonuses have perpetually been a problem"? It hasn't been a problem to me, or does it imbalance the classes somehow that I am not aware of?
To me, 'making it rarer' sounds more like, 'you aren't going to get a set bonus so easily ... you'll have you grind more', and the fact that they will become "rarer" shows me that it can't have really been a "problem" in the first place (as they still might include it!).
If they make it more of a grind (like obtaining black ice gloves) yet again, I really, really wouldn't be impressed, however, I also would not be surprised ...
It's been a problem because out of so many different set, only a very few were useful, while the rest are rubbish. They released so many modules that has new gear and they all sucked! But they don't want to make a set that's going to be too OP and needing to nerf or rework it. So they need more time to try and get it right the first time this time around.
