So with the rework of stals bulwark I figured that all items changed would be done so retroactively. Now I go and see that the ring of the execution was "OP" and they also reworked it. BUT they did not change all the previous ones purchased. How is that right? Discuss.

As a hypothetical example, if changes were made to the TR Battlefield Scavenger set items to make them give recovery instead of life steal, I would expect existing items to remain unchanged. If the set bonuses were changed, I would expect the change to take effect across all of the sets past, present, and future. That's code. The set bonus is granted by wearing 2/4 items in the set. It's not tied to the items themselves.

If they wanted to change the set bonus and not have it be retroactive, all they'd have to do is make new entries in the item database with the same names as the old entries and give the new entries the updated set bonus. Then, just replace the old items with the new items in the drop tables.
LOL @ "That's code."

If making the change retroactive is justified simply by their intent being to change the set bonus, then what value does your hypothetical example above have? If the intent is to change life steal to recovery in your hypothetical TR set, why shouldn't that change also be retroactive?
The ring isn't overpowered. The ring hasn't be altered. Merely made non-transferable.
Stalwart Bulwark item pieces were not removed from any person. The stats were changed because the items themselves were overpowered.
This is apples to oranges.
In shorter terms:
One was a stat change and one was a change in availability.
In order to "nerf" them they would have to remove them from players who already have them...not cool...or change the stats of the rings in entirety...again not cool.
You might want to do some research b4 you post in my threads. Go on to dragon and search for seal of executioner on the AH. Right now you can see that there is clearly some of the old ones for sale WITHOUT the stats being changed. Only the new ones have different stats. Go take a look for yourself and then come back and post something valid.
thats what up small son
This is actually wrong. The old version Seal of the Executioner was (iirc) the most regeneration you could get on a ring slot, and I think the new same-name item is entirely different stats. There is still a regen ring for TRs at the Pegasus seal vendor, but with reduced stats. (Not viewing the vendor right now, but this is what I recall from taking a look right after Feywild went live.)
Per patch notes, seal items were modified across the board, not just to reduce their cost and make them BoP, but to change their utility as well.

So according to your statement what they did to my bulwark was "not cool" by your own terms. Explain to me your stance on stals bulwark again?
I have argued to give a better set effect. Always have.
A necessary nerf. A needed nerf. And overdone nerf.
I did no such thing...
Changes will always be taken negatively. Doesn't mean they're bad even if the players don't like it because some changes are good for the game even if the players perceive it as bad for them.
