Actually, the problem was with SOE.
When Thuuga was introduced and completed, the Mage community was angered because there were two items with +75 Heal (one with just +75 Heal and a Priest skill set and the other with +75 Heal/+2 Spell Crit and a Mage skill set). One of them (Bracelet of Thuuga) was clearly designed wrong, since it had Mage skills and +2 Spell Crit on it...and it was the second item with +75 Heal.
So the Mages complained, and SOE announced they would change the Bracelet of Thuuga to use +75 Spell Damage instead of +75 Heal.
Well...the Furies got furious (pun intended). They liked the Bracelet of Thuuga. It improved their heals, let their spells crit more, and gave them more INT for more spell damage. So they complained.
In the end, SOE caved to the Furies and created a NEW item with +2 Spell Crit and +75 Spell Damage. Only they screwed it up.
They made the new item in a different slot. While the Bracelet of Thuuga was a Wrist item, the Bangle of Thuuga (at introduction) was an Ear item. So many Mages, myself included, felt betrayed by and lied to by SOE...since they had promised us a fixed Bracelet, and instead introduced the Bangle in a different slot.
So many of us sold our Bracelets, got the Bangle...and then bought back the Bracelets (myself included) because we didn't want to have an empty Wrist slot (since we were all expecting the Bracelet to get changed, and no one knew SOE was going to instead create an Ear item for us) until we found another suitable item.
Don't get mad at those of us who repurchased the Bracelet after getting the Bangle. Get mad at SOE for leaving us with no choice by announcing they were going to fix the Wrist item and instead introducing an Ear item.
