Unfortunately, this is how all patched items work. The items made before the patch keep their old stats. In order to get rid of them, Funcom would need to write and run a script on official severs that identifies and replaces them.

Funcom has to consider whether the exploited item is a serious enough problem to dedicate the resources to such a thing. As far as I recall, a script like that has only ever been run once, and it caused a lot of additional issues that could not be undone.
